@XLGaming Жыл бұрын

the metal box (or plastic) is code in the US. Without it, any short or arc can start a fire if it comes into contact with wood, drywall, or whatever your wall is made of. Metal boxes usually have wires coming into them with metal conduit that is grounded, and sometimes acts as the ground conductor. Plastic boxes usually just have romex coming through the opening.

@patatje1434 Жыл бұрын

i'm loving this 😄

@ConcernedCitizenPPCA Жыл бұрын

Not an electrician but here in North America we use those metal boxes generally to contain switches and outlets. There's a screw terminal inside it which is supposed to be tied to ground to make the box itself safe in the event the wiring is bad. Those outlets look worse than they might actually be because the two screws on either side are for continuing the circuit to other outsets or for setting up 3 way switches

@patrickdix772 4 ай бұрын

1:30 we fairly frequently test ours while cooking. Though in the USA battery powered smoke detectors are supposed to have an alarm when they get to low battery. So ours will give a short chirp every few minutes (unlike the continuous longer alarm when it detects smoke) when the battery is low (most often starting when you're asleep and with enough time that you fall back asleep between chirps).

Now in the video with the outlet, imagine what its like for those of us with old wiring. Learned electrical with knob and tube wiring which if you dont know what it is….its non grounded (hot and neutral only), not labeled as both wires are the same color, and the sheathing is either rubberized cloth or in the case of my house asbestos. Youll also get the weird daisy chain effect where random plugs and lights are attached all together with seemingly no sense.

There are newer models these days where you never have to change the battery for the life of the smoke detector. Not sure if those are full battery ones or mains connected though.

Yeah this is true. Only in certain instances would you use an enclosure behind the socket outlet

@ConcernedCitizenPPCA Жыл бұрын

Most outlets sold these days have options for both inserting from behind and screwing down that way as well as making a hook and putting it onto the screw itself. According to code both are acceptable although I think if you are using a larger wire than normal you cant use the holes in the back. Most electricians here like using the hook method probably because if you make the hook in the direction of the screw it'll be better and provide a larger surface area for contact.

Yes, American receptacles are SCARRY! The good news is only the generic 120 volt, 15 and 20 amp receptacles are like that. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI), higher standard/quality 120v plugs, and 240 volt receptacles are more like yours. About our electrical boxes, at all points in the electrical circuit that the electrical energy is utilized or consumed, a box is required. This is what the Code calls an 'Outlet', this includes receptacles, switches, any place for surface mounted lights, places that wires leave the wall to equipment, and junction boxes. Our National Electric Code mandates how the wires and boxes should be installed, but its the municipality that determines if you will use metal or plastic boxes and somewhat what type of wire protection of the wires/cable (metal, plastic or no conduit; cable armored with metal, or one of many plastics; if you can use aluminum core instead of copper core). Generally, single family dwellings and duplexes will be plastic boxes/no conduit for wires. Commercial buildings and multi-family dwellings will be metal boxes with armored wires/wires in conduit. Great video from your not so local American Electrician trade school instructor!
