Turkish Electricals Are Almost TOO CLEAN

We visited mosques, churches, castles, shops, alleys, ships, stuff in Istanbul, Türkiye! And I barely saw anything out of order in their electrical system, other than usual… Should I have looked harder? Let me know in the comments!

HEY! Sorry for kind of irrelevant music. They are still from from middle east and I tried to find things as close as possible, but Turkish music has a distinct flavor and unfortunately KZfaq library doesn't have good ones in there, and I can't be bothered with copyrighted music!! KZfaq needs to have a more complete library, somehow.

And if you ever see this comment Mr. Mehdi, i'm keeping that 10 Turkish Lira at the back of my phone, and i parted the rest of the tip to my colleagues.

Welcome Mehdi, please feel at home. The establishment of the Turkish grid and debates on AC/DC is a compelling story. I strongly recommend a book/report called Türkiye'nin Elektrikfikasyonu (Electrification of Turkey) by Refik Fenmen (1935). For instance, Fenmen's team has visited the Niagara Falls Hydroelectric Power Station (Westinghouse), which is the first large-scale application of Tesla's AC system. Inspired by Niagara Falls, a small-scale hydroelectric power plant was established on Çaylak Falls in Susurluk/Balıkesir (I am working on establishing an industrial heritage museum here).

As a proud Turkish/Armenian person i felt obligated that those noodle cables you saw in grand bazaar are for telephone/internet cables. In Turkey ALL electric distribution to any building/complex routed under the ground. Actually it's little bit frustrating when something goes wrong with that distribution you have to wait for the city electric company comes to find where it is, dig the ground, fix it, close the ground and give back electricity. And that sometimes takes 3 to 8 hours.. 😅

In Turkey RCD are mandatory somehow. But the buildings electrical setups are so old in order for RCD to work they have to find every single point that might trip the RCD. So, they dont want to deal with that and just put the RCD but they dont connect properly. You can understand that by pressing test button it doesnot work :) My dad is an electrician from Turkey thats why I know.

In Turkey, people don't particularly like residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs) because they constantly trip downwards. This is due to the lack of sensitivity among Turkish people regarding electricity. They don't pay attention to damaged or stripped insulation cables. So why are RCCBs in the fuse box? Because our electrical regulations require us to install them, but as I mentioned, after installation, people often bypass them and take the phase directly from the fuse, disabling the RCCB. Additionally, in densely populated areas, power transmission lines are underground. The reason you don't see overhead power lines while driving is because of this. I hope you had a great vacation! :D

I dont think they used a selective differential before the 30mA one. A nice transient to 1A could trip a 300mA leaving the 30mA on! First differential should be a Selective from which secondaries feed. In this case you can be sure your fridge is still running when a fault outside happens(during rain). Nice when you travel a lot. Also a selective diff may not be used as a source for automats without a normal differential breaker. The AREI also states that 30mA is for wet environement sectors when groundresistance is blow 30 Ohms. Otherwise 30mA is used for everything in old buildings(new buildings neer resistance below 30 Ohm.

Although this video throughly covers most of the up-to-date installments, this isn't the case for many buildings or houses in Turkiye (unfortunately). The old porcelain light switches (the ones that become a bit too "energetic" if your hand is humid or wet before contact) as well as some electrician oversights (unnecessary fuse placements for devices that demand high current for the first moments) are still present and maybe even continued. On top, the RCDs sometimes arent tested properly for safety. My teacher once said he went to a kindergarden for inspection and although the principal was "very proud of their RCD installment and general safety precautions", it didnt take him long to realise that RCDs were only tested via their test buttons to see if there is a mechanical problem; they weren't even connected to the infrastructure. But putting these issues aside, I'm happy to hear your opinions about the infrastructure. As an upcoming electrical engineer I'm happy that I've managed to find your content.

Istanbul is such a beautiful city, crazy hectic in the summer but still so beautiful. This is making me want to go back. For anyone visiting I recommend Kadikoy on the Asian side, not as touristy, very local and loads of alley ways with shops and bars you can chill in.

6:30 in Germany we have similar GFCI systems and its not unusual that they don't pop. Therefore it is important to test them once in a while (2 to 3 times a year). And it is possible to "regenerate" them by plugging in more current.

It's usually recommended to test them at the beginning and end of daylight savings (because testing them will mess up any mains powered clocks and on those two days you need to set them anyway). Each European country has different electrical regs (although usually based on the same harmonisation documents, just with loads and loads of national amendments and changes) but the basic designs are similar, it's the details that are different. The UK and its former colonies are most different but some things have changed there as well. Ireland, apart from using UK sockets, is much closer to continental practices anyway because of close historic ties with Siemens Germany. I'd say generally speaking there are only two types of electrical setups in the world: European style and US style. Perhaps you could add old UK style as a third (rewirable fuses and all that).

One thing that is common and I have seen it in actual panels is that usually at shops and businesses they install those protective breakers and what happens is that the breaker starts doing its job. Then they have to figure out where the problem is (usually fridges and AC units) but because they have to reset the breaker every now and then, they will bypass the breaker which IS ILLEGAL.

What a fantastic video! As an Irishman living for more than 20 years in Istanbul I feel like an old Turk now ! It's a beautiful city with beautiful people, beautiful street cats and dogs. I love it. I do remember in the early days we had a power failure about once a week ! Sometimes the power is gone one day and the water is gone the next day, sometimes both together !😂 But now, everything is far more reliable and it's extremely rare to have a cut, and that's only due to storms or some other unusual circumstances.

Great Video ! Usually each main circuit breaker protects 3 to 4 branches, so in this hotel, every 3 rooms have a common main circuit breaker, which is rated for 300-500mA for current leaks and 15A to 45A in short-Circuit. Although it was there to protect the wires between the main panel and the room's panel, fortunately it acted as a double protection preventing fires, but not electrocution. As for the room's GFCI that is rated for 30mA in current leaks, I don't think it's faulty, sometimes technicians bypass it, when it detects current leaks every now and then, instead of looking for the leak/faulty component.

You need to wear those sunglasses with mustache attached when you talk to electricians.
