  1. As this channel so often does. I like this too :))

  2. Yes, that's the kind of things we think of and are curious of and examine. Others not only ignore those kind of things, they call us weird and smartypants ... No, we make the world a better place, also for them.

  3. One point is missing in my opinion: Lets say we have a device that needs 2 A and comes with one of those smaller gauge wire. No problem so far and all properly attached and not overloaded, but if it has a malfunction, not a short circuit but not far from it, maybe through some moderate conducting material so that it happen to draw about 18 to 20 A. The 20 A fuse won't blow but the wire is overloaded. And overloaded continuously. Yes a bit far fetched, but with millions of devices in use each day also those things happen.

  4. 1.5 mm² is very common in Europe, and is used with 16 A 230 V fuses. But it is recommended to use thicker wires for that, though not mandatory.

  5. Mhh, that got me thinking... That is a fact that I never thought about, thank you :)

  6.  @deang5622  Ok good you know. And no I won't take the trouble to read all the 22 413 posts there are on this video.

  7. This is true in all of Europe. This is also an important point, when Alec points out that the US system is 240 V - then the European system is 400 V, compare apples with apples.

  8. Yes, detergent in the pre wash chamber improves cleaning performance. But if I had clean things from my childhood on on every washing cycle, and if all friends and relatives never had issues, why should I do it? :) Oh and I've never rinsed anything, let it sit for two days regularly and never used detergent in the pre wash. Is that a Bosch or Miele thing? Btw.: I much much appreciate the work you put in this video (and your washing machine), now finally I know what's really inside :)

  9. This is true (although since about 40 years its 230 V in all of Europe, Turkey, Russia, India, Australia...). But this is also an important point, when Alec points out that the US system is 240 V - then the European system is 400 V, compare apples with apples.

  10.  @MCasterAnd  Ok, good to know. Don't know which country my statistics was from.

  11. Yes, if you buy a new machine before reading the manual its your own fault and really not my pity. Especially since the web is available since 20 years and IN PARTICULAR if you know such little about washing machines.

  12. This blows my mind as an European, that's really so unnecessary dangerous.

  13. Finally a channel in its comments I can mention that I love the Radiometer on the lava lamp being just the right height for the light bulb, without getting thousand comments how bonkers I am :))

  14. My two family home has only 80 A main power connection and no smart appliances at all cus all besides the heat pump was installed 1967 and it is all electric since. Never in this 55 years the main fuse popped although we never think about when we use what. Ok no electric car to be charged, but I think its even easier as he make it sound.

  15. Oh, just spotted an error I made, we have 80 A 230 V three phase. That's of cause more then 100 A 240 V one phase like this video is about.

  16. Yes and no. Most extension cords available in Germany (Europe?) are rated and capable of 16 A 230 V, and as most fuses are also rated 16 A, this is normally never a problem. But there are also cables rated for 13 A available, which in my opinion should never be bought because of that risk. In fact, they should be banned as their use (less cost) is marginal.

  17.  @deang5622  It doesn't needs to be converted, just tab to one phase and one neutral and you have single phase.

  18.  @deang5622  I was replying to your first post in this thread, the one you mentioned "converting" 🙂 I've read your second post too. If you post a third time in this thread before me maybe YouTube filtered it.

  19. All the time in my mind: "Or, I could just hit print on my computer..."

  20. Yea and when we apply that to most European houses, the 240 V of the US system corresponds to the 400 V of the European system ;)

  21.  @noer0205  Yes you are right. But the video states that in the US you can also have 240 V: The answer from me is than, well if we use more than one live wire we can also have more than our normal 230 V.

  22. If you touch 230 V by hand, yes, chances are only 3 % to die. Too much for me though. But if touched with other body parts it can be more than 50 % though.

  23.  @FakeMichau  400 V is between two phases of a three phased system. One phase has 230 V and so two phases have 400 V between them. This is the norm in all of Europe, although smaller homes would often only have one phase wired into the home.

  24. I've never experienced a power outage of more than two minutes in my lifetime, and even those happen only every few years. And I think this is common in my country. But this video suggests 8 hour long outages to be quite common in the US? I thought the States are a high developed country?

  25. He actually gets paid for his work (through ads, having 700k+ subscribers gets you some money through ads)
