00:00:00
hi today we are going to Australia a
00:00:03
huge island in the middle of nowhere
00:00:05
with a population of over 27 million and
00:00:08
same as us Canadians her majesty the
00:00:10
queen is the head of the state or is it
00:00:12
the king now i don't follow the
00:00:15
celebrity news
00:00:17
salam
00:00:20
let us hope the door does not fly
00:00:26
[Music]
00:00:33
our we have arrived after 15 and 1/2
00:00:38
hours of flight it breaks a
00:00:41
[Music]
00:00:44
man okay we finally settled maybe let's
00:00:47
do some sizing first dang this room has
00:00:50
some view enough of that what have we
00:00:53
got here look at this nonsense of the
00:00:55
switch why are they so small oh my golly
00:00:58
and Australians are a bunch of
00:01:00
lilyutians in North America we have
00:01:02
these giant panels of a switch and we
00:01:04
easily go on and off and here I have to
00:01:07
search accurately for the switch and
00:01:09
press it and look at this all the
00:01:12
switches here turn off when you push up
00:01:14
and turn on when you push down it's
00:01:17
backwards i mean it is Australia people
00:01:20
also drive on the wrong side of the
00:01:22
street too which reminds me does the
00:01:24
water turn the other way around when
00:01:34
draining well that didn't help
00:01:38
[Music]
00:01:40
look at the
00:01:43
seats they change direction
00:01:48
[Music]
00:01:58
all their plugs have switches although
00:02:02
this one is a little bit suspicious
00:02:04
what's going on back there should have
00:02:07
brought my screwdriver there you go it's
00:02:10
better
00:02:13
[Music]
00:02:32
now and their plugs well North American
00:02:35
plug Australian plug they look very much
00:02:37
the same they use similar size blades
00:02:40
they have both earth but the
00:02:42
similarities stop right there north
00:02:44
American plugs are exposed all over but
00:02:46
like the UK plugs the Australian ones
00:02:49
have half of it covered so when you push
00:02:52
this into the outlet and the prongs
00:02:54
connect to live voltages this area
00:02:57
doesn't have any exposed live voltage
00:02:59
while when you plug the North American
00:03:01
ins and they make contact you still have
00:03:03
a lot of exposed live voltage so if some
00:03:05
kid comes around and touches it like
00:03:07
that they're going to get shocked now is
00:03:08
this simple thing so hard to do why
00:03:10
don't we do it in North America for
00:03:12
God's sake well I mean that should be
00:03:13
the case in theory let's put some thin
00:03:16
wire on the prongs and see if they
00:03:19
actually never have exposed wire same
00:03:21
test I did in United
00:03:23
Kingdom i put my wires on the exposed
00:03:26
metal and I'll push it into the outlet
00:03:28
so if the outlet pushes my wire back
00:03:30
over the non-conductive material safely
00:03:33
there won't be any arcs otherwise it
00:03:35
means that some of the exposed metal is
00:03:37
still you know exposed so for their
00:03:41
safety sake it better not
00:03:46
arc yep no
00:03:49
arcing do I have to turn this on i guess
00:03:52
I have to try again okay no arcing
00:03:57
hey it didn't ar well australia 1 UK
00:04:02
[Music]
00:04:04
zero and you know what's great for
00:04:06
traveling my sponsor SY it provides an
00:04:09
electronic seam or e seam for your phone
00:04:12
that replaces your phone's SIM card when
00:04:14
you travel so you can use cellular data
00:04:17
on your phone in over 200 countries in
00:04:20
the world and avoid roaming charges well
00:04:23
I didn't use it for my travel to
00:04:25
Australia i had heard about it but I
00:04:28
used my service provider's roaming
00:04:30
service that allows me to use it around
00:04:32
the world for around $12 a day so for
00:04:36
120 US I was set for my trip sy is
00:04:40
another way to do it for
00:04:42
$3.99 even if I get 10 GB for 30 days
00:04:46
it's just
00:04:48
1729 oh wait that's without my promo
00:04:51
code you can use my promo code
00:04:53
electroboom at checkout or just visit
00:04:56
s.com/eleroboom and you get another 15%
00:05:00
off so I would be paying $1529 for 10
00:05:03
gigs of data for my trip damn it I lost
00:05:06
over $100 damn it we lost over $200
00:05:10
because my wife did the same thing as me
00:05:13
wow before you travel install the SY app
00:05:16
on your phone set it up and install the
00:05:18
eim you just install it once for all
00:05:20
countries then you get a suitable plan
00:05:23
for the country you are visiting using
00:05:25
my promo code of course and the eam
00:05:27
automatically activates as soon as you
00:05:29
land in your destination and just like
00:05:31
that you will have data for your entire
00:05:34
trip do it and stop bleeding money so
00:05:37
similar to United Kingdom they also have
00:05:40
switches on all their outlets the
00:05:42
Australian Earth is also a blade which
00:05:44
doesn't matter but their live voltages
00:05:46
have angles on them unlike their North
00:05:48
American counterpart such a simple fact
00:05:51
makes a great difference because even in
00:05:53
the devices where you don't need earth
00:05:56
there is no way you can plug them upside
00:05:58
down it's always keyed and you have to
00:06:00
plug it the same way this makes sure
00:06:02
well as long as they wired your house or
00:06:04
apartment correctly that the live
00:06:06
voltage always goes over the same wire
00:06:08
to your device but in a lot of cases in
00:06:10
the North American earthless plugs you
00:06:12
don't have control over that and you can
00:06:14
plug it upside down but in a lot of
00:06:16
cases I also see that the plug has a
00:06:19
wider earth blade so that you can't plug
00:06:22
it backwards but just doing this you can
00:06:24
never plug it upside down so in my
00:06:26
opinion you can design better for safety
00:06:28
when things are known oh I forgot to
00:06:30
check accurately 240 volts what
00:06:34
frequency 50 Hz very United Kingdom of
00:06:37
them which one is live though yep this
00:06:40
one is
00:06:41
live yep the left side is live but they
00:06:45
don't have any tiny safety doors in
00:06:47
there unlike North America we are safer
00:06:51
there you're not safer
00:06:56
[Music]
00:07:06
where's all the snakes and tarantulas
00:07:08
and crocodiles they promised i guess
00:07:10
they're all in the back
00:07:12
rooms back back
00:07:15
door
00:07:17
outdoors outbacks they're all in the
00:07:20
outbacks so these trains took
00:07:23
inspiration from my old video I guess
00:07:26
see right now the top of them is
00:07:29
connected to a wire and they get charged
00:07:33
and in the rest of the city these
00:07:35
disconnect and they run on their
00:07:37
internal batteries I suppose yeah I'm
00:07:39
pretty sure they were completely
00:07:40
inspired by my video i mean for sure
00:07:42
they were come on let me have this one
00:07:44
see they pulled it down and they run on
00:07:48
their battery for the rest of the city
00:07:51
[Music]
00:07:57
i like it here although their
00:07:59
electricity is in good shape but unlike
00:08:01
Switzerland they don't mind letting
00:08:03
their wires
00:08:05
show nice
00:08:07
houses let me see if I can show you
00:08:10
this all their fuse panel and
00:08:13
electricity is right
00:08:16
here i don't like the in yourrrface
00:08:19
attitude of these breakers on the houses
00:08:22
i want to touch them but I can't damn it
00:08:25
wires wires everywhere so this is how
00:08:28
they power their houses I guess eh 240
00:08:31
volts comes here and splits into all
00:08:36
these houses
00:08:39
and it is a sine wave but a pretty
00:08:44
distorted sine wave at that why is that
00:08:49
ow damn it stepped on this stupid live
00:08:53
wire ow it's good that the skin at the
00:08:55
sole of the feet is quite thick
00:08:57
otherwise 240 volts hurts like a But
00:09:00
their fuses man they're just outside
00:09:03
aren't they worried that rain or
00:09:05
environment may get into those breakers
00:09:07
and break them cute houses with
00:09:10
questionable electrical wiring and stuff
00:09:12
i like it but all the wiring is over the
00:09:16
streets
00:09:18
[Music]
00:09:24
so like Europe they better have central
00:09:26
ground fault protection because I don't
00:09:27
see it on the outlets and with 240 volts
00:09:31
you better have
00:09:33
it oh look at that first try too nice
00:09:38
they left it in the hotel room i love
00:09:40
these guys what do we have here wall
00:09:42
oven air conditioner safety switch
00:09:45
protected power protected power these
00:09:47
are all RCD ground fault protection
00:09:49
let's
00:09:51
see they're all functional
00:09:54
too does it say 30 milliamps there very
00:09:59
standard and does it mean all different
00:10:00
rooms have their own breakers this is
00:10:03
nice let's go test it with the resistor
00:10:06
so again I'll be using my beloved
00:10:09
potentiometer but this thing has blown
00:10:11
up on me before when I was trying to
00:10:13
adjust it plugged into the live
00:10:17
voltage so this time I'm going to tune
00:10:19
it first and then plug it first I tune
00:10:23
it to 12,000 ohms for 20 milliamps and
00:10:27
that shouldn't trigger the RCD almost
00:10:30
1200 ohm this is on and we plug it in
00:10:36
not
00:10:38
again there you go at least this one
00:10:42
worked oh wait the reason it blew up
00:10:45
wasn't because the breaker didn't open
00:10:47
fast enough i set it at a level that the
00:10:50
breaker wouldn't open at all which means
00:10:53
it heated up and melted and shorted and
00:10:56
that's when the breaker popped open
00:10:57
which means if I set a fresh
00:11:00
potentiometer to less than 8 kiloohms
00:11:03
for more than 30 milliamps current maybe
00:11:05
the breaker trips fast enough for it to
00:11:07
survive this time it's set to around 7
00:11:10
kiloohms will it
00:11:12
survive oh for God's sake well the fact
00:11:15
of the matter is that the RCD pops open
00:11:18
maybe not fast enough to save the
00:11:19
potentiometer but probably fast enough
00:11:21
to save a human hopefully well we are
00:11:25
leaving this hotel going into the next
00:11:26
one in the same
00:11:29
city but perhaps I can test some of the
00:11:31
details in the new
00:11:41
[Music]
00:11:45
one this is nice
00:11:48
[Music]
00:11:52
yo their ships also have
00:11:56
outlets i wish I had my resistor with me
00:11:59
so I could test for ground fault
00:12:04
protection i found the biggest outlet
00:12:07
and plug in Australia even this one has
00:12:09
a switch on it i'm sure the ground
00:12:11
protection also
00:12:13
works yo what do we have
00:12:16
here damn it one day I forgot to bring
00:12:19
my multimeter and it seems like we have
00:12:22
what 32 and 500 volts i missed my
00:12:28
[Music]
00:12:31
multimeter so we are in our new hotel
00:12:34
room scattered all over the place with
00:12:37
such a view let's see if I can find the
00:12:41
breaker now so far Australian breakers
00:12:43
have been pretty accessible should be
00:12:46
around here
00:12:49
somewhere huh oh
00:12:51
no not here
00:12:53
too that's That's the entire room oh no
00:12:58
what happened there's no breakers in the
00:13:00
room
00:13:06
no breakers
00:13:12
no i bet it's somewhere out here
00:13:17
oh for God's sake but at least from what
00:13:20
I experienced so far Australians are a
00:13:22
more sensible bunch they have different
00:13:24
breakers for stoves air conditioners and
00:13:26
ground fault protection for different
00:13:28
outlets and lights so if I trip anything
00:13:30
it will be only the local outlets and
00:13:32
lights so I guess let's test the outlet
00:13:35
i turn it on and I have my 6.8 kiloohm
00:13:38
resistor here instead of the
00:13:40
potentiometer and this one shouldn't
00:13:42
blow up like the potentiometer and don't
00:13:44
try to do this at home this is dangerous
00:13:46
i'm a professional okay I'm holding the
00:13:49
side that I'm going to plug into earth
00:13:51
first and plug the other side into
00:13:58
live well you always connect the earth
00:14:02
first that's why in all these outlets
00:14:04
that have earth prong that prong is
00:14:07
longer than the rest so when you insert
00:14:09
it it always makes the first contact it
00:14:11
is important for safety that all the
00:14:13
devices that need grounding are grounded
00:14:15
first before live voltage flows into
00:14:18
[Music]
00:14:20
them i want one kangaroo one crocodile
00:14:23
one emu oh my god one kangaroo
00:14:29
are you stuck here in the door hinge
00:14:32
being suffocated in this narrow spot are
00:14:35
you going to blow up any time now well
00:14:39
it survived this long as a matter of
00:14:41
fact is it powered nope doesn't have
00:14:44
power good
00:14:48
[Music]
00:15:12
all sisters are cohabiting peacefully at
00:15:15
the moment i should be able to do some
00:15:17
tests my sister-in-law told me that's
00:15:21
her Australian accent that you must keep
00:15:23
these switches off because if you keep
00:15:26
them on it consumes electricity even
00:15:28
when nothing is plugged in
00:15:31
how is that even possible when you don't
00:15:33
have anything plugged in a switch is not
00:15:35
going to consume power i also found that
00:15:38
they have the breakers
00:15:41
here in the closet these are protected
00:15:44
lights are these the same thing yeah so
00:15:48
there you go they're all functional i
00:15:52
assume these are all the outlets because
00:15:54
the other one is stove and air
00:15:56
conditioner and stuff main switch then
00:15:58
what is that one up there i don't know
00:16:00
what is this one i don't know i guess
00:16:02
now we can test the ground fault
00:16:04
protection we turn this on and put the
00:16:07
resistor in first on the ground wait why
00:16:11
am I doing it like this i can turn it
00:16:13
off i can do it safely here it's good
00:16:16
that they have switches now I can plug
00:16:19
in my resistor first safely like this
00:16:23
and then turn it on like that did it
00:16:26
work hey look at this it's this one it
00:16:30
worked without any explosive incidents
00:16:33
i'm generally pretty impressed with the
00:16:35
Australian systems it's updated and safe
00:16:37
and fresh and
00:16:39
functioning there is a still relative
00:16:42
peace
00:16:48

guy is that Dave Jones filming himself
00:18:01
dave he's not just an electrical YouTube
00:18:05
channel
00:18:06
this guy owns the largest electrical
00:18:10
forum let's do a selfie i'm sorry hello
00:18:14
hi this is Dave Jones come on mate come
00:18:16
on seriously come on i What dave Jones
00:18:19
guys he's He's a Okay so you see my
00:18:22
YouTube just Just a selfie man come on
00:18:25
all right okay that's it let's go to my
00:18:27
hotel room what go i want to do some
00:18:30
electrical testing in my hotel room you
00:18:33
can do it let's go what
00:18:37
[Music]
00:18:39
we are on the what longest uh You
00:18:42
explain it better we are on the longest
00:18:44
movie moving walkway in the southern
00:18:46
hemisphere except we're doing the movie
00:18:50
there's nothing down here by the way
00:18:51
folks it's just a car park you sure you
00:18:53
don't want to go into the car park and
00:19:00
on the hunt i I I have a feeling we can
00:19:02
find something down here right okay
00:19:05
there is a power you call it a
00:19:07
powerpoint here yeah yeah yeah i I
00:19:09
always say outlets i don't know if I'm
00:19:11
right or not at all should I put my
00:19:13
resistor in there you think let's do it
00:19:16
why not fine let's do it that's fine
00:19:18
let's see if it has any voltage on it at
00:19:19
all first before we plug our resistor in
00:19:22
there it is in volts yeah it's got Yeah
00:19:26
2 volts there is nothing sorry about
00:19:28
that let's go find another power point
00:19:30
okay this time using the EV blog meter
00:19:34
the meter of champions okay it's off now
00:19:37
we turn it on technically it does have
00:19:38
the probes backwards but uh you know it
00:19:41
is AC no nothing what a loser they They
00:19:44
knew I was coming so okay let's see oh
00:19:47
1.4 1.4 volts again disappointment
00:19:50
ensued we were 240 volts and then they
00:19:53
changed it to 230 volts is it so Oh this
00:19:56
one says on is Is it What oh yes that is
00:20:00
going to there it's on right
00:20:04
oh I just noticed all of the um parking
00:20:07
lights just flashed
00:20:09
oh look i fixed it am I fixing it or I
00:20:14
don't know usually those lights are
00:20:16
permanently on
00:20:18
nope nope at least we fixed the lights i
00:20:20
guess run
00:20:28
this
00:20:32
way that's
00:20:34
me go to the metro
00:20:37
i'm take the Uber let's go
00:20:45
well I couldn't get Dave to come into my
00:20:47
room but I'm sure I can test this last
00:20:50
part myself but he gave me his own
00:20:51
specialty EV plug multimeter thanks mate
00:20:55
all I want to know is how long it takes
00:20:57
from a ground fault like for example
00:20:59
from when I touch the live wire and get
00:21:02
electrocuted to when the protection
00:21:04
device cuts the power off and saves me
00:21:07
so here's what I did i'm monitoring the
00:21:09
live voltage on my scope and have my
00:21:11
resistor between live and earth and have
00:21:13
the cable plugged into the wall but the
00:21:16
wall is off right now as soon as I turn
00:21:19
it on I'll have voltage here but the
00:21:21
protection kicks in and I'll see how
00:21:24
long it takes for it to turn off so
00:21:26
ready 3 2
00:21:30
1 what
00:21:32
happened look we have a waveform so it
00:21:36
seems like it took less than a full
00:21:37
cycle for the protection to kick in and
00:21:39
so it should take less than 20
00:21:41
milliseconds for you to die i mean uh
00:21:44
for the protection to kick in and save
00:21:46
your life laugh for me you laughing
00:21:48
animal
00:21:50
same you see those things in the sky
00:21:53
they're giant bats bats everywhere
00:21:57
[Music]
00:22:03
and that's it a swan come on swan
00:22:08
come back black swan oh and still all
00:22:12
the bats are flying over her heads going
00:22:15
about their business from their roosting
00:22:18
station in the middle of this
00:22:22
area
00:22:24
batman mr bad
00:22:46
what are you eating
00:22:49
i feel like the Australian electrical
00:22:51
system might be my favorite yes United
00:22:54
Kingdom has the most complete one but
00:22:56
Australian one has everything they have
00:22:59
except for the fuses in their plugs
00:23:02
which might be a little bit unnecessary
00:23:03
anyway but other than that not only they
00:23:05
have all the safety features but unlike
00:23:08
UK or some European countries that have
00:23:10
a single RCD ground fault protection for
00:23:12
the entire room and if there is a fault
00:23:14
you lose all functionality in the room
00:23:16
they have multiple different breakers
00:23:18
and only the one with the fault pops and
00:23:20
you keep the functionality of the rest
00:23:22
so they are my favorites so far and we
00:23:26
are not even going to consider North
00:23:28
American standard but if you feel like
00:23:30
your country has some better safety
00:23:32
codes let me know what they are and when
00:23:34
I travel there I'll check them out so
00:23:36
speak now or forever hold your peace
00:23:43
hey hey hey hey hey
