  1. I appreciate this, I'm glad you did a video on the U.S. electrical system. And this was really good (all your videos are) , no doubt this why this is one of my favorite YouTube channels. So I guess Canada and Mexico is similar to the U.S. since they use 120/240 like the U.S. ? Now I never understood why U.K. outlets have switches. Would it have anything to do with their ring circuit system? I was surprised when I found out recently that the U.K. uses 110 volts at construction sites https://www.sunrisetools.co.uk/blog/post/5-110-volt-vs-240-volt-on-construction-sites

  2. This video should win an award.

  4. We thought metric.......in 1976 and rejected it

  5. We did go metric on some items like 2 liter soda (pop), . 500 ml. bottled water and hard liquor . And all consumer goods is listed in both English and Metric

  6. The U.S. uses 60 hertz which is more efficient than 50 hertz, so we have one advantage over Europe's power system. "Founded by the Westinghouse Company, Tesla's AC system became the American standard power supply. But at the same time, German company AEG started to provide power and has a monopoly in Europe. They decided to use 50Hz instead of 60Hz, because they use a decimal (US using duodecimal), this calculation is more convenient, but they still retained the voltage of 110V. Unfortunately, 50Hz AC efficiency is far poorer than 60Hz. Because of the efficiency of 50Hz generators has 20% lower than 60Hz, and the transmission efficiency has 10-15% lower. 50Hz transformers require larger windings, and the motor efficiency is also lower. Because they use a low frequency, so they have to spend more money solving the power loss and high heating problems." http://www.50hz60hz.com/why-different-frequency-voltage-power-supplies-are-used-in-different-countries.html

  7. Thanks, I just watched her video.
