wow
On a motor that is running. The current flowing through the motor depends on the lod that the motor is under, correct? 🤔 When you are checking current that is flowing through a three phase motor. Your checking each lage of the motor. You check the RLA first on the name plate of the motor. It's 35 RLA on the name plate. Your reading L-1 is 27 amps L-2 is 26 L-3 is 28 amps. So the motor is not under a full lode. It's not running at it's max capacity. I hoping you can make a video about 3 phase motors and current. Why each leg has a different amount of current flowing through it. I understand that each leg of power the voltage is not the same because they have to be out of phase from each other in order for the motor to turn. If it's 460 volts on the name plate . I normally read . L-1 is 471 volts L-2 is 481 volts L-3 is 477 , something like that as an example. The name plate says 460 but I'm reading almost 500 volts . I understand that it's because of the transformer from the incoming power from the main disconnect. It would be really great if you could make a video explaining.
@@tinymanthebeast idk
In my school I got a question can you explain.
Q-) Electric shock is caused by_____.
. Electric current
. Electrical potential difference
. Electrical resistance
. Electrical energy
(Note you can choose only one option)
Edit:
Correct answer = Electric current
Pls explain
HI Paul, the other day I sent one euro and to help you I'll send another one. Because this video is really amazing.
I'm a physics teacher and students should see. Hug from Portugal.
I comprehended more from this channel that what I did in 4 years doing Engineering
can confirm
Lol
Was the class in English? Or did you end up having one of those teachers who's kind of like that one guy at an open mic slam poetry night that is literally trying to confuse everyone with their abstractly eclectic vernacular. Almost like a professor that's attempting to go over your heads with constant use of unfamiliar and unreviewed terminology, as well as, copious amounts of assignments, that of which he's given to you with absolutely no prior instruction or even briefly covered with a general introduction? Cuz that was what every sort of general studies course that could be parlayed into a trade would seem to go for me when I was still attempting to unknowingly indoctrinate myself into a "College Graduate" with an MBA in "Electrical Engineering" with a Bachelor's in "Mechanical Engineering" and a focalized specialty Sub-Orbital Propulsion Mechanics. But being a rocket scientist isn't splits cracked up to be when you find out the truth about the fish bowl we're stuck on and there are more jobs making missiles than there are building "spaceships" since you kind of need "space" to be solid enough to provide resistance if you plan to maneuver around it with any combustion powered propulsion devices we've invented. So even if space existed in the way that they say, and "Empty-Nothingness" that somehow takes up room could be something that was possible, you couldn't fly around it with "Empty-Nothingness" as the only thing for the rocket boosters or stabilizer jets to push off of. Therefore, when I realized it's all a big lie, I quit school and decided to find a job in a trade that doesn't involve me investing effort in a suspension of disbelief or being overcome by total cognitive dissonance, in order to fulfill my duties as a competent employee. I actually believe in what I do, and I don't have to lie to myself and my colleagues everyday by pretending that we're sending folks into some imaginary version of the heavens that doesn't do one bit of justice to the reality that lies beyond the firmament. I refuse to pretend that I know what's up there, but I also refuse to pretend that it's even anything close to the incorrect theories that were invented to help balance out the unquantifiable amount of inconsistencies and infinities in the mathematics "SPACE" with "The Ever Expanding Size of the Universe", "Dark Matter/Energy", "Black Holes", etc... In short, I know what I don't know and I know what THEY don't know, and I'm perfectly fine with admitting what THEY can't.
samee!!!
Exactly
Not studying electrical engineering, not planning on it, just figured I'd spend my time on RUclips watching something meaningful for once. Thank you for these videos.
And as a break from watching Nick's Strength and Power videos I'm sure.
Well hears a secret if your a home owner you have the same right to be your own certified electrician as a professional certified electrician to do basic electrical work on your house...save some money learn something
@@kozmikkido.g.9957 not everywhere
well electrical engineering and being an electrician are two different things @@kozmikkido.g.9957
i'm not studying electrical engineering either, i'm just trying to figure out how to use the cables from Nomifactory CEU (specifically gregtech)
In all the years I studied engineering, I was *never* shown an animation that so literally demonstrated the flow of electricity changing direction in AC circuit. I never truly understood that - what I learned was only from looking at the sine wave. The whole concept of bridge rectifiers and inverters suddenly makes sense now. I mean, I got it before, but I didn't *get* it. Now I do. Amazing.
Yes, with animated it is very understandable with less efforts to rethink about it. I really appreciate with this channel helps me a lot.
Im studying electrical engineering. This helped a lot thanks ❤️❤️
Glad to hear
God bless you soul
Is electrical engineering hard or easy or medium
@@howtodoit4204 it’s challenging , like there is a lot of math/physics/chemistry shit like that. If it’s something u want to do and are interested in you can get through. I would use the word “time consuming” rather than difficult.
@@howtodoit4204 It is a b**ch but it gives you a very cool perspective on the world around you. You see and feel all the infrastructure that is around you and gives you a very cool feeling.
I think you need a further correction for the 10:36 mark.
You have in the text: "One Coulomb =" BIG number "per second".
A coulomb is just the number of charged particles without any time dimension.
BIG number per second would be an Ampere.
Great teaching work, thank you.
Glad someone else noticed lol. Also, is it 6,424,xxx or 6,242,xxx?
Plus using an apostrophe for Amperes (and earlier also amps)
Yo! Just wanna say your videos are amazing at explaining stuff! Schools should be using animations like yours, it's 2020 already.
I plan to do a marathon of TEM videos soon. Thank you for making these FR.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed
Front
This makes so much sense! I'm planning on becoming an engineer, so I find this stuff so fascinating. Once you figure out the basics like electrical current, the complex stuff starts to make sense.
If you are just getting into you are one of dame lucky, you have no idea because of not learning the different of conventional current and electron flow make learning circuit like hell, its even make you feel there is something wrong with you. but this channel video make everything to make sense to me, Sad part is I finish my degree without understanding nothing
degree in what?@@user-ev5fj1rm3y
This channel is RUclips ELITE! Thanks for existing!!!!
This is a priceless channel. I'm a computer scientist, and my father was an electrical engineer. I'm filling so many gaps in my knowledge in such a short time, it's unbelievable! Thank you very much for the efforts to put this online. Keep up the great work with this channel!
this is the most useful channel in my youtube list.
Thank you very much.
Thanks, glad to hear
I am a 2nd year electronic engineering student and this is more informative than any lecture. Its grand learning complex equations but its really important to understand the basics ...which can actually be fairly complicated
I've just started learning about circuits and electricity and I've been really struggling to understand the difference between Voltage and Current. Then you said you can measure the presser of the tank if its not flowing but not the rate it flows at and it clicked! The difference seems so obvious now, thank you!
Finally found the right place for information that pertains to my multi level job as an industrial mechanic! Electrical experience from helping my father who held his journeyman Electrical license for 49 years local IBEW 520 Austin Texas! Has paid off just lacking on motor controls on overhead cranes! Very useful and appreciate solid information and understanding of what I have to deal with! Thank you!
I’ve been through multiple videos by this channel and I’m finally starting to understand things I’ve struggled with forever. I’m not an electric engineer or even consider myself a hobbyist/maker, but I’ve been trying to understand electricity for a while. Thank you.
I consider myself a reasonably bright person... but yeah electricity for some reason has always been just out of a comprehension grasp. Hehehe. I'm here for the same reason.
Same here! I've watched countless other youtube videos, read books and articles on electricity and electronics and my brain couldn't comprehend it despite my mechanical background. This is the first video that has really made sense and clicked with me. I've got a multimeter and a Snap Circuits kit so I'm going to replicate some of these examples he showed in the video. In the future, I'd be interested in a video that would explain the math formulas that relate volts, amps, and ohms.
Check our new Multimeter tutorial out ➡️ ruclips.net/video/4lAyzRxsbDc/видео.html
See our new video on how to build mechanical versions of electronic circuits? Watch here: ruclips.net/video/Zv9Q7ih48Uc/видео.html
It is insane how well he describes complex subjects. Love the content!
At first, I just wanted to watch only a few videos but I didn't think I'd get hooked up learning about these stuff. I'm no engineer because I got kicked out from my chemical engineering program but would still like to preserve whatever I learned. Now I began to understand the math, physics and mechanics of things. It usually takes me 2-3 tries to pass a course though. Hence, I ended up becoming financially broke (got no money to go to school even to this day). Though I now work as I chemist, these free videos really helped me understand things I didn't know before. I feel like I'm well learned than my batch of colleagues even though I'm literally a failure. After 3 weeks, I've finally finished this playlist (I only watch when I'm in the mood otherwise I wouldn't remember a thing). It's like I took a basic electrical engineering course which was normally taught for 4-5 months in school. I'm planning to watch all of your videos. Keep them coming. I'll support this channel. 😁
Hey im a freshman here in our country im about to take electronics engineering and all of your videos about motors current voltage and other electrical related videos helped me a lot. Thanks a lot I’m about to make yt videos like this in our local language so my colleagues and fellow students can learn and share knowledge.
i'm slowly transitioning into embedded software engineering, which requires me to learn a bit of electrical engineering. So far these videos have been incredibly helpful as someone who has zero prior experience. Thanks!
Going into my second year of electrical and electronic engineering. Going to watch your beginners guide to brush of any rust and then start with your more complex videos. 2 years to go !
I have never studied about electricity. Barely studied anything in primary school, didn't have that in high school. Now in college, i need the knowledge. You've explained it incredibly
I am in love with this guy explanations 😍💜
I am a 47 year old man and am learning how electricity works. Over the years I had a good idea but at work I am in school learning new things that require electrical knowledge of vehicles. I am here to learn, thank you for providing a good teacher.
Your page has helped me out a lot as an instrumentation technician. Thank you. You explain everything so well.
Your's explanation is the best i have ever listened
Thank you!
I am not studing electrical engineering, nor I want to be an electrical engineer.
But why not watch these videos??? They're so cool!
I was struggling to catch on before coming across this updated version. It is nicely paced and not as fast, and thank you for that. The other videos were a bit too fast, thanks Paul
Can you do a video on troubleshooting open, shorts and change value on series-parallel circuits? I’m having so much trouble understanding how to determine them from each other. Thank you in advance!!
This is truly of great value, good information like this is hard to come across.
Thanks
Your videos are great I’m a first year electrical apprentice and they have helped me a lot! Thank you!
The most amazing videos I´ve seen about electricity. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Thank you for the video, and a thanks was sent to Paul! I'm looking forward to researching all of the links provided in the description.
Excellent video & explanation of electrical current! The best that I have seen on YT or anywhere else for that matter. Need to bookmark this for future reference. Well done! 👍👍👏👏👏👏😉😉
Fantastic video guys! Have you considered updating your playlists to reflect your updated work? I only found this video because as I was scrolling through your playlist there was a pinned comment linking to this updated version. It'd be best to present your best!
I am working my way through this series now and am most impressed. I am probably an older subscriber but really want to learn about electricity so thank you so much for the effort taken. In due course once I have the theory under my belt I hope to take a practical course. Your explanations are perfect and makes grasping it so much clearer than reading an book. Thank you.
so many videos on youtube teaching circuits and how to make ciruit boards but they never teach you abbout eletricity itself .. from a laymens point of view including myself this makes alot of other things make more sence so thank you many times for teaching how eletricity works!
not doing engineering nor do i plan on doing engineering any time soon, just thought i'd get my bearings on AC&DC since i never understod in schol, ever. idk why i found it so hard to understand back then, but in the span of a few minutes i can confidently say i know what AC&DC stand for and explain it in my own words. thank you for these videos.
Man, I love Crash Course, but their videos on electricity were flying right over my head, this video series does a much better job at presenting information at a more digestible pace and with clearer examples.
I've been trying on and off for years to get a grasp on electricity concepts but for some reason I couldn't really get it until these videos. Very good work and thanks so much!
Probably because she explains way too fast ;~;
This is the best channel i've ever found. Thank you so much
This video is absolutely brilliant. I wish I had grown up learning stuff this way. Good job!
Thank you for your useful videos and its really amazing , but since you have mentioned many mathematics values for the current due to resistant and voltage, its good to mention Ohms Law that V=iR , thank you again
These videos are so well done. The visual examples help my ADHD brain visualize what's being explained and understand it instead of getting lost in a bunch of lecturing and bullet points. Thank you for this!
Thank you very much. I truly benefited from you lesson. Please keep the good work. The presentor is audiable, clear and has a nice voice.
Wow ... Really its easy to understand and know many thing ...
Better than schools and colleges
High voltage, also i have an electric circuits test coming up so this video helps a lot understanding the concepts
Wow, thanks for sharing this 👍 Amazing job!
Fantastic. The best I have seen thus far. Your videos answer all of my questions.
This is amazing, so easy to follow through even for those that don't study electrical engineering. The diagrams are amazing the explanation is on point. I love it🤗❤
I need to express how much I LOVE YOU and your vids
Thanks for the detailed information on conventional flow vs electron flow. This was always a very confusing topic for me, but now it’s clear. I can’t wait to share this with others.
Amaizing explanation and very interesting video! 😊
Could you make some videos about analouge electronics and how they works. It would be very helpful. Btw your explanations are awsome.
You'll notice from 10:32 to 10:44 that the number written in script (six quintillion, two hundred and forty-two etc.) differs from the number shown in numeric form (6,424,000,000,etc.). Of course the former (and subsequent scientific form, 6.24x10^18) is correct. Considering the effort taken to produce this excellent, informative lesson in electricity, this small oversight is testimonial to man's tendency to err, and should be kept in mind when attempting any electrical project. Always recheck your work and then still be prepared for mistakes. Hopefully your mistakes will be as inconsequential as this one.
This stuff should be taught in high school. Yes touched upon briefly in physics but actual hands on work. Also it is very inspiring and interesting
Hi..Isaw the demo videos by chance ,and Iliked it very much and IWould like to thank u for the explanation ,because its so wonderfull ....thanks again
Thank you!!!! This video is VERY helpful!!!! 🙂
Thanks for adding the extra links!
Thanks for this great video. You explain so well.
Stupid school textbooks, i would've scored 90 percent by just watching his videos. And now i know i failed cause of stupid textbooks
Did you ever pass after ?
I'm invested tooooo
Bro I'm in HVAC school and the books are boring af after working 12 hours trying to read the confusing books that have sh!t examples is so difficult. I have just started finding each topic for the book and finding RUclips videos and using AI as a personal tutor. I actually learn so much more and in depth.
Same happened with me
im looking into trade options for employment and decided to learn about electricity on a whim since electricion is a trade on my list and i never expected to be so newly fascinated by it lol. i thought i was gonna be going through the ringer trying to understand these videos, but these are actually so fun to watch
Great job 😊 this makes it more easier for me to go along with this semester's work 👏
Thanks sir ❣️
Enjoy
Thank you for this. My avionics teacher sucks big time and Ive got no background in electronics so you are helping me pass my classes
Thank you, very helpful for students like me❤
Bro your videos are amazing most of my questions where didn't able to answer were answered by you . Thanks for u work
Amazing video. My favorite in learnin this stuff so far.
The video I’ve been waiting for😁
Got many things clear . thank you sir
Oooni am your big fan
Just due to amimation
Right now seeing electromagnetic waves
Thank you for loving my comment
I never learned that it's - to +, and after 20+ years of wiring things, I learned something new.
Thanks
That's pretty crazy how we get comfortable w/ learning something the wrong way and so we just ignore the problem
Thank you for the basics of electrical energy and devices.
Wow just simply wow
What a beautiful explanatioj you gave
Absorved each and every concept.
Thanks a lot!
You guys are the best. thank you for making such an informative videos
Finally a video on your channel that explains electricity. That's one thing you never really covered. Lol. J/k 🤣 great video
thank you for making this makes it so much easier to understand
I'm doing mechatronics engineering as a freshman , but in second year i'll be handling the electricity aspect. Thanks for this.
All I have to say to you Sir is GREAT TEACHING 👏🏾
Amazing video, I’m a young person trying to find what career I wanted to do, and now I have it clear thanks to this channel
Thankyou very much! This will help me to make me an engineer and I could learn something in lockdown
These videos helps a lot
Keep making on new subjects
Maybe at some point you would like to discuss an oscillator in the circuit of a DC current which produces radio waves such as is used in RF surgeries, garage door openers, perhaps laser treatments of skin or thermolysis. How much heat is produced? How is it controlled? How is the heat directed in a mono antenna such as a needle or surgical "knife", non-knife cutting device?
Thank you for this video. looking forward to more!😊😊😊😊
Wow super informative, can learn a lot from this page
wow amazing video and ilustration very easy to understand
Brilliant videos as always, I saw a slight mistake at 10:41 in the number of electrons per coulomb, the long form number and exponent form do no show the same numbers. The exponent form is the correct one I believe. It's a bitch to correct and reupload a whole video, but a small card at the timing denoting the mistake might help alleviate confusion for those who didn't already know the value (which I learned in one of your previous videos!). I hope this is helpful, I don't mean to criticize or anything. Cheers!
I was going to post about that, that has got to cause a lot of confusion
Hello Bro !! your channel if you teach about (Electrical Wiring & Circuit diagrams) it would be the best one
What a brilliant educational video thank you.
13:08 this part helped me understand ohms law and current alot better. So if I understand it now, voltage and resistance are constants in the circuit while current is the variable.
you cant change current without changing either resistance or voltage. if the resistance stays the same and you want to increase current, you have to increase voltage.
Thank you so much. This is so much easier than what my teacher teach. Keep it up.
Glad it helped
Great video about Ac/dc circuit breakers and fuses
Seen our new incredibly detailed MCB video? link: ruclips.net/video/gqEu9t8HwW0/видео.html
Absolutely perfect why to explain circuitry and electrical power. If I would have learnt this in school would it take me a half a year!!
Plenty more content available and more to come too!
Thanks for a great video. Wish you explained more why AC alternates direction.
More details on alternating here: ruclips.net/video/qthuFLNSrlg/видео.html
The Engineering Mindset thanks mate
