  1. that's why they should have breakers instead of fuses
    89
  2.  @davidpar2  that's also the reason why the british plug is overrated
    28
  3. a 2000w (230v 10a) dishwasher has a significantly more powerful heating element than a 1500w (120v 15a) dishwasher
    13
  4.  @henryposadas3309  why?
    4
  5. 16:04 both holes are the same size so a polarized plug won't fit
    4
  6. ​ @cromefire_ listen closely: 230v 32a × 3 = 22kw l1 + l2 = 400v 16a + l1 + l3 = 400v 16a + l2 + l3 = 400v 16a = 400v 48a = 19kw

  7.  @ElmarLecher  3 things: 1. the uk type g plug is limited to 13a by its own fuse 2. the french type e plug is rated at 16a 3. i think nowadays both france & uk have 16a because 15a mcbs don't exist
    4
  8. make sure the common ground is actually connected

  9. ​ elfrjz don't you remember ps3 ylod?

  10.  @thomasalberts3181  dutch plug? do you mean type e or type f?
    3
  11. a 1500w (120v 15a) dishwasher can't really heat up cold water

  12.  @peterhoz  ok thanks for answering

  13. most 220-240v lcd tvs are 50/60hz
    3
  14. i thought normal cds used mp3 when i was a kid
    3
  15. fun fact: north american ps3 & ps4 consoles say 100-120v 50/60hz on the outside but on the inside they say 100-240v 50/60hz so they can be used in europe
    3
  16. type f is just as safe as type k but it's unpolarized
    3
  17. we didn't change the standard because it would've been too expensive
    3
  18. i think that's why the european 230v sockets are protected by 30ma rcds
    2
  19. you could use a retrotink 5x with its motion adaptive deinterlacing
    2
  20. in europe almost everything is 230/400v 3 phase
    2
  21. the original gba doesn't have a charger so you must've had a gba sp
    2
  22.  @lzh4950  why didn't the earth wire create a short circuit that blows the fuse/breaker? that's how it worked before rcds were invented
    2
  23.  @kung_puey  fun fact: european breakers still trip internally if you do that
    2
  24. do you connect your dishwashers into your standard 230v 10a type j power sockets?
    2
  25. european dishwashers can use 2000w (230v 10a) while american dishwashers can only use 1500w (120v 15a)
    2
  26. 10kw? 230/400v 3x32a is 22/19kw
    2
  27. 2500w? 230v 15a is over 3kw & the standard european fuse size is 16a 3.5kw
    2
  28.  @ΣτελιοςΠεππας  yes but i don't know why the guy said 2500w because it's less than 13a
    2
  29.  @diatonicdelirium1743  standard fuse box layout? do you mean old dii or new din rail?
    2
  30. my apartment is so old that it doesn't even have a dishwasher circuit
    2
  31. that won't work if the game console uses a standard iec plug
    1
  32. blu-ray supports lossless audio so just use lossless audio
    1
  33. the type f schuko is actually the best design because it's safe but without that downside

  34. ​ @imperiallegionnaire6943 why would you want to plug a washing machine & a dryer into a single power strip? if you use both at the same time the 16a fuse will likely blow
    1
  35.  @imperiallegionnaire6943  many european homes have a single double power socket for a washing machine & a dryer so you don't need a power strip
    1
  36.  @imperiallegionnaire6943  do you know those single european type e/f power sockets that are recessed inside the wall? those can be easily replaced with double european type e/f power sockets that are recessed outside the wall, do you know what i'm talking about?
    1
  37. american washing machines can only use 1500w (120v 15a) while european washing machines can use 2000w (230v 10a)
    1
  38. in my rental apartment somebody had put a bigger fuse in the fuse box
    1
  39. even if you had 100000000a wires then the dc plug would melt
    1
  40. why are most uk houses single phase even though most european houses are 3 phase?
    1
  41. in europe a 1.5mm² extension cord can easily deliver all the power a heater needs
    1
  42. having fuses in plugs is unsafe because if they keep blowing then people will use bigger fuses
    1
  43.  @Stainless316L  then people will replace the fuses with hex bits
    1
  44. some game consoles use a standard power cable so the kids can easily get another power cable
    1
  45. what country are you talking about? i know finland used tn-c
    1
  46. if 120v goes through your body into the ground the resistance will be so high that a 15a breaker will almost never trip
    1
  47. how can italy be only 3kw? the standard italian socket is 16a 3.6kw
    1
  48. old ungrounded euro sockets are rated for 230v 10a
    1
  49. an old fuse box is safe as long as you use the correct size fuses
    1
  50. you can accidentally plug a 10a australian plug into a 15a or even 20a australian socket
