I like to imagine that Norm Macdonald is teaching me while listening to these videos. Maybe you could incorporate a few jokes here and there… Two electrons are walking down the street the first starts patting himself all over. The second asks, “You okay?” He replies, “I think I’ve lost an electron!” The second ask, “Are you sure?” The first responds, “Yeah! I’m POSITIVE!” Eggcellent.
You're probably the 5th person to mention that I sound somewhat like Norm Macdonald. He's my favourite comedian, so I'll take it as a compliment. Not sure if my inappropriate dad jokes would fly on the channel. Thanks so much for the comment. All the best. Pete
You make such clear but detailed videos . Are you a teacher yourself or do you work in industry ? Thanks for the time you take to put this great media online.
Pete, I've been confused about when a ground connection is needed, and when it's not. For example in some delta wye configurations it is on the primary, on some it's on the secondary. Is there an easy way to quickly infer where the ground is needed, without memorizing the circuit drawing for every situation?
In Canada, we only ground the Neutral of the Wye System. This is done in the transformer by connecting XO to the Bond. The Delta is an ungrounded system. However, in the US, there exists a 4-Wire Delta circuit in which one of the windings is center-tapped and grounded.
Thanks for these great vids. Aldo your accent isn't all nasal and annoying. I think it's a Canadian thing the yanks got it bad these days and it really makes it hard to endure listening to it
Steady and clarity makes us to understand well. Hats off...

I teach electrical apprentices in Toronto, Canada and I am a licensed Electrician
Nah... you are an engineer.
Thank you.

Thanks, It's coming together. I found a complementary video by MikeHoltNEC that helped. Your videos are really useful, thanks for the effort.
No problem. You have a great channel as well. I subbed to your channel and am enjoying your Ignition Waveform Analysis video. Keep in touch. Pete
thanks a lot ; when U got Wtot Did you assume PF=1?
Yes, this is the first exercise we do in our class, building up to 3 phase RLC's. It is just a 3 phase resistive load with PF=1

total wattage is missing a pf or am i mistaken?
It's 1, since you only have resistive load.
