How 120V / 240V electricity is distributed from the power station and to your property. We look at how it is connected to power domestic appliances as well as the main components such as the electricity meter, main service panel, main breaker, circuit breaker, bus bars, neutral ground bar, light switches and lighting circuits, transformers, GFCI circuit breakers, AFCI circuit breakers. The purpose of the hot wire, neutral wire and ground wire as well as the ground rod and the water pipe bonding.

    General Contractor here ... worth tuning in all the way. Spot on. Take notes. Wishing this type of content was instilled in elementary and high school. Immeasurable value. Thank you for this production.
  • @johnjoyce5910
    I'm an electrician for 35 years. This video is absolutely perfect explanation
  • @wknight8111
    I went to school for Electrical Engineering, and while I know a lot about how electricity works mathematically, I don't always understand how specific components in the home work and what they are for. Videos like this are extremely helpful to bridge that knowledge gap. Thanks for it!
  • @trevin1770
    This guy leaves no stone unturned. I was so surprised he took extra time to explain things like AFCIs and GFCIs. Fantastic explanation! 👏👏👏
  • @daniel1c
    As a professional engineer engaged in multidisciplinary project engineering, these videos are invaluable that were never taught directly in school. Thanks so much!
  • I'm a student trying to become an electrician, this video connected so many lose ends. I learn more watching your videos than I do in class. Thank you.
  • @tyereksmith8946
    NOW THIS IS HOW YOU TEACH STUDENTS A TRADE OR SKILL. YOU SIR IS A GREAT TEACHER OF THE SCIENCE'S.
  • @920WASHBURN
    I'm glad you made a distinction between "qualified" and "competent".
  • @clinth8284
    As a 4th year electrical apprentice, this video should be shown to all first year apprentice's. It would answer questions before they were even asked. Great job, subscribed.
  • @LtKregorov
    Professional electrical engineer here specialized in power generation, transmission and grid management. These videos are impeccable. Straight to the fact with easy to understand visual support. To me the most important point is that they always seem to know exactly who the viewer targeted by the content is. For me, a video like this is baby level, but I can easily see so much value for someone new to this or in the process of learning it. It could dive into much more complex details, but they are left for other videos which is exactly why it is so perfect.
  • @cliffprystie1
    I am not an electrician but have undertaken alot of electrical projects to code on my own.  It is stated that you have to be 100% confident in what you are doing as there is absolutely no room for error with electricity. I wish we had access to videos like this one 45 years ago in school. Straight up and straight forward... Thankyou
  • I am an electrical engineer and even though I know all of this from class and/or from doing it in my own house, I find this video entertaining and the best explanation I have seen yet. I’ll use this to help my buddies understand what I’m talking about! 😂
  • @TheChadavis33
    Taking an electrician pre apprenticeship program. This channel supliments the program perfectly, and allows me to continue learning and reinforcing what I've already learned. Great job 👍
  • @AmericanOne9621
    The absolute best I have ever seen this explained, and I've been working trade since 1978.
  • @papo100pr
    I am a student and i can honestly say, One of the best explained library of videos around. I love the animations and examples used by the narrator.
  • @TheLiasas
    Can't stress enough how glad I am for having found this chanel. Love it.
  • This is one of the best videos I have ever seen that explains AC electrical use
  • @46GarageUSA
    Wow, finally a channel devoted to properly educating folks in AC. Thank You ...
