Tynan's "okay" to Linus justifying using an extension instead of changing the plug entirely is what I feel whenever someone tells me about their insane ways of doing things that could be so much better, but because it "works"for them this way, they don't want to change it...

If I'm well aware of the "better" way, and I can't remember why I did it the "janky" way in the past, I'm not gonna fix it until I can remember why I did it that way. It could've been laziness in the moment, but it could've also been a super specific niche situation.

Yeah it's not mains, it's either going to give you the biggest jump of your life or make your heart stop instantly, but need to call emergency services immediately no matter which.

This brings back memories of the failure of a large UPS at a datacenter where I used to work. The cause of the damage was, again, water entry, due to a failure of an A/C unit nearby. Eaton sent a tech out to repair the unit. Less than 5 minutes later all the lights dimmed in the call center. Then we saw the Eaton tech being carried out to an ambulance. As I understand it, he failed to check or disconnect a voltage source and got severe burns. The Eaton tech recovered, but we had an object lesson in properly paying attention to safety precautions. Shortly afterward, the people who managed the datacenter implemented stringent "lock out/Tag out" standards.
This is definitely one of those cases where swapping out your LTT driver for a good set of electrical screwdrivers that have an insulated handle is worthwhile, especially if you’re going to point at stuff with the screwdriver.
14:46 BP Voltage out of range" refers to Bypass Voltage out of range in Eaton UPS systems, which occurs when there’s no AC power connected. By default, the UPS only starts when main power is present. You can bypass this by holding down the power button after the UPS initially turns on, allowing it to start without wall power or a phase. There is also a setting in the UPS to enable startup on battery power. As a side note, if you start the UPS without grid power, it will have a random phase direction. If you later connect it to wall power, the UPS will sync with the grid within a ±0.5Hz range, which is another configurable setting.
Wow, that is a horribly confusing error name. How did they not realize people would misinterpret that as "Battery Pack Voltage"?? Why the hell do people do two letter acronyms for a single word like that???
@@tbuk8350 its stupid, but CS and their technicians ideally would know what it means when it matters, like if it was already plugged into ac power. would still be better to make it clearer and save a google search or the poor CS reps from telling people to plug it in
Even if the design includes a bleed down resistor, when you are dealing with damaged components, you cannot rely on the bleed down resistors still functioning.
The design MUST include bleed down resistors if its is to be sold in north america, it needs ANSI and or CSA, or a ULC standard approved by the US or Canada
The only way that would happen is if the connection between the capacitors and the bleed resistor broke somehow, which is highly unlikely. It will protect you from 99.9% but always have a healthy fear from high voltage capacitors. It's charged until you confirmed it's not by measuring and/or even attaching your own bleed resistor onto it.
I've seen a high voltage electrician get completely vaporized in pursuit of a dumb joke. Knowledge doesn't necessarily prevent incidents from negligence. But it does make it funnier.
To be fair 240V across your tongue isn't going to kill you - but you'll definitely feel it. Needs a path across your heart to even begin to be dangerous, and even then 240V is very unlikely to stop the heart of a young healthy person. I'm not saying you shouldn't be careful, but it isn't like he was on the edge of a cliff there or anything.
@@themrnoob0 That would be perfect. As I auto-skip all the ads anyway, it would also serve the purpose to not have to see that clown ever again. That guy is not 100% there, in the head.
Not wasting money goes two ways. Repairing good stuff instead of trashing it is one. Not buying trash is another. For many people whom can turn a penny into copper wire between their fingers, long term cost analysis (while taking service life and quality into account) often leads to a more expensive purchase over a less expensive one.
I'm an hourly paid electrician. I built my 1969 nova ss clone from the ground up in a dirt floor shop. I have about 30k in it and it is appraised for 60k. You can like nice things and be cheap. I still buy great value brand and eat ramen noodles. I can promise ya the 6.0 LS in my nova throws a code I can fix it before the weekend is over. Linus is gonna take that Porsche to a dealer and pay out the ass while waiting months.
At this rate we're going to get a full suite of... "My home server rack filld with my computers all DROWNED!" "My computer rack caught on fire, it OVERLOADED!" Honestly linus at this point you might aswell dunk the whole rack in a big mineral oil tank.
This was a super fun video! Tyler was fun to see on camera and it was interesting to see this kind of project, saving something that was supposed to be dead :D
@linus "AC can't exist when it's unplugged" I get what's being said here, in relation to checking capacitors, but the unit has an inverter, which can create DC when unplugged, that's literally how it works
3:30 Coincidentally I also fixed one of these just the other day (it had been stored in a humid environment and had some corroded PCB traces). These Eaton 9PX do **NOT** discharge the capacitors when powered off. I was still measuring 280V on the big electrolytic caps 24 hours after it had been turned off and unplugged (both mains and battery).
Ya'll should do a video on how to set up a UPS for home use. I know there are tons of affordable units that are essentially plug and play, but I could totally watch a video where you outline how to properly speck a UPS based on your needs (how much do you have plugged into it, how long do you need it to run, is this just to clean up dirty power, etc.), if it makes sense to buy a second hand unit, and what different battery options there are out there.
This is the reason that if you're gonna go with liquid cooling you should use mineral oil, not water. Mineral oil is nonconductive and most things won't dissolve in it meaning if you have a good enough filter to catch the metal particulates from the pump, a leaking cooling system filled with mineral oil won't cause nearly as many problems as one filled with water.
13:34 those fuses aren't directional, that symbol means that they are high speed fuses (or semiconductor fuses) meant to protect semiconductor components, but they can still be mounted either way.
That is exactly right. And at least here in Europe (well, at least in the German speaking part of Europe, not sure abeut the rest) they most of the time also have the sign "gS" beside the diode sign stamped on them. They both mean the same. As far I know gS stands for the two German words Geräteschutz Superflink what means device protection and superfast. We used such fuses to protect drives for motors with up to 120kW.
Couple of things worthy of note for capacitors: Just because they are rated for say 600 volts doesn’t mean that they ever had 600 volts on them. Second of all, if there’s bleeder resistors on the board before touching anything short across the traces for the capacitors with something like a screwdriver. As soon as you do that you’ll be safe because the bleeder resistors will prevent those capacitors from charging up again.

Great work stepping through the diagnostics and coming up with a successful and cost-saving solution. It's impressive how you tackled the issue instead of just opting for a new unit.
This guy helping you out is so good. I find him really funny and entertaining and it feels like he knows what he is doing. I would LOVE to see more of him in the future❤
Good work Linus and Team for improving the safety consciousness of your videos. This was very well done and did a good job visually of communicating to the viewer that this is dangerous and to be safe with electricity.
The best thing about this is the fact that rather than get rid of the old water-damaged one, you salvaged what you could, and took another one that was damaged, and made one that's working - which means less waste that needs to be recycled, in addition to the monetary savings. Less waste and less spending means better for everyone.
13:50 These fuses are not directional, the diode symbol is there to indicate that it is a fuse designed for working with electronic components (faster response time)
While lithium ion would not be the route to go, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) would be a much better choice than lead acid while also being much safer than lithium ion. It lasts a lot longer than lead acid, you get the full usable capacity out of it compared to 50% out of lead acid, and it doesn't go up in flames like lithium ion can.
Although Eaton still call it 'Lithium ion'. (And technically, it still uses Lithium ions to do it's thing). And all this confusion is made worse by ion and iron sounding the same.
@@phuzz00 You could call it a "Ferrous Lithuim battery" and keep it distinct; but I feel like a some people wouldn't quite know that ferrous means iron.
This whole scene reminds me of when I told a cousin, we just need to check the continuity. Found a dead coil pack in his 350z, and then said, well lets swap it.... He cut the wires to the coil pack because the connector was being difficult.... POP... smoke.... one ECU and wiring harness later...always disconnect your battery guys. Knowing how a meter works and being smart enough not to completely fry something are two totally different things. Although, seeing this video makes me want to be brave like Linus once again.
the sheer amount of disclaimers around the first 2 minutes tells me this video is going to be a good one.

Good catch! That's the "courtesy car" he gets every time the Tycanne is in the shop, I think.
@@Metal_Maxine Or perhaps, the "gaming minivan" was replaced by a new car
Ah, so the Taycan is broken again, isn't it?
@@Fabri91 it never left the shop lol
@@Metal_Maxine thats the old model, they usually give the latest model of the curtesy car
I love every episode with Tynan he is such a gem, I love him :)
Great work stepping through the diagnostics and coming up with a successful and cost-saving solution. It's impressive how you tackled the issue instead of just opting for a new unit.
0:45 damn that porsche
It's not the Tycan - it must be in the shop
I missed it at first! Good eye
yeah, no wonder why he needs to rebuild equipment and save money, lol
People risk their lives at work everyday for 22$ an hour. 5000 is worth the risk for most people
Thats how Taylor Swift gets new boyfriends.
People risk their lives constantly checking their phones while driving lmao.
@codyBarnette-GNARK *$22 not 22$... 🤦🏾♂️
@@facelessfaceman9716 bruh why do you care it's a comment under a video not a accounting report
I jumped into a 7' hole without shoring. Dumbest thing I have ever done for $26/hrs.
This guy helping you out is so good. I find him really funny and entertaining and it feels like he knows what he is doing. I would LOVE to see more of him in the future❤
Good work Linus and Team for improving the safety consciousness of your videos. This was very well done and did a good job visually of communicating to the viewer that this is dangerous and to be safe with electricity.
The best thing about this is the fact that rather than get rid of the old water-damaged one, you salvaged what you could, and took another one that was damaged, and made one that's working - which means less waste that needs to be recycled, in addition to the monetary savings. Less waste and less spending means better for everyone.
Tynan wiggled like a cat whilst watching the UPS.
17:55 😂 that was a jumpscare
"Not to your taste?" Dennis ads are the best lmao
Tynan is having so much fun, you can tell he loves what he does!!!
13:50 These fuses are not directional, the diode symbol is there to indicate that it is a fuse designed for working with electronic components (faster response time)
"AC can't exist when everything is unplugged" that is so sad.
We need Linus battery tasting
I miss Waterjet Channel's Mitchel lick test
Dennis's ad breaks are always fun.
Lead acid batteries themselves are actually water proof internally, they need water in them to work
Spicy water!
lol Linus talking with his hands while asking what’s safe to touch was wild
Tynan is legit the hottest member of LTT, and the engineering knowledge only makes him hotter
While lithium ion would not be the route to go, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) would be a much better choice than lead acid while also being much safer than lithium ion. It lasts a lot longer than lead acid, you get the full usable capacity out of it compared to 50% out of lead acid, and it doesn't go up in flames like lithium ion can.
Eaton's Lithium UPS' use LiFePO4
Although Eaton still call it 'Lithium ion'. (And technically, it still uses Lithium ions to do it's thing). And all this confusion is made worse by ion and iron sounding the same.
@@phuzz00 You could call it a "Ferrous Lithuim battery" and keep it distinct; but I feel like a some people wouldn't quite know that ferrous means iron.
When Linus's water cooling leaks: No damage
When my water cooling leaks: 5k loss
My favorite part of the “DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME” banner was the LTT screwdriver ad perfectly covering the “DO NOT” part of the message😂😂
Tynan is my favorite LTT person
08:57 9 ways beer and UPSs are alike:
Redundancy: Make sure you have backup.
I can get behind that!
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! DO IT AT LINUS'S HOME!!!
i thought Alex was the resident engineer. Bring back Alex!
"DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME" like i have a ~5000$ battery in my home
it highly bothers me that Linus is pointing with the uninsulated screw driver while talking about capacitor discharge.
The system works.
Even if it was insulated hes holding the shaft 😂
My shaft is always insulated....
@@2Hard2Core pause
@jono6379 @@2Hard2Core No-one wants discharge on their shaft... #Sorry #Notsorry
At least he didn't drop it, it just got water damaged
Better title
Risking my "family's" lives for 5000$
This whole scene reminds me of when I told a cousin, we just need to check the continuity. Found a dead coil pack in his 350z, and then said, well lets swap it.... He cut the wires to the coil pack because the connector was being difficult.... POP... smoke.... one ECU and wiring harness later...always disconnect your battery guys. Knowing how a meter works and being smart enough not to completely fry something are two totally different things. Although, seeing this video makes me want to be brave like Linus once again.
Ridge doing a gold plate cybertruck has made the brand look far worse than any other brand partnership could have to me.
16:28 Fun fact: White guys sometimes need 2 or 3 attempts at a high five to get it right.
