      probably?? do you really think he does not know what he is doing? it's all for show. in the scene in the house when he plugs in the voltmeter you dont see that he puts the to wires (black and red) in a circuit (it;s film in such a way that you dont see it) so that when he connects to the socket it will make a spark.
      He knows what he is doing. 100% all the time. so it's just a show

      At 2:09 the transformer isn't really blowing up. He rigged a undervolted capacitor to the ac lines ,that couldn't be seen, and would blow up when plugged it. Seems to be one of his favorite tricks. Even tho most of the mishaps are staged it doesn't take away the entertainment value for me.

      ...make sure its on voltage and not current?
      The wiring is very explicitly different for V vs I on the DMM it has nothing to do with setting (different sockets). And the I input is fused with a pretty low current vs currents you might encounter in industry

    We used to do this all the time at the entertainment lighting company I used to work at. It was super janky, but we had a box of 2x5-15 to 1xL5-20 adapters to run 220v moving lights that we used far more then should probably be admitted for home wedding or small corporate event type shows.
    Then we went to set up some lights 230V for a small show on the USS Midway museum. Despite my best tries and some then baffling multi-meter readings we never got it to work, and had to come up with some 110V lights.
    A few years later I found out that ships typically use delta power because the insulation performance of the jackets of power cables was not well trusted in marine environments, so the systems were designed to have as low of potential to ground as possible. This means that old ships like the Midway and even many new cruise ships have two hots and a ground instead of hot-ground-neutral like you'd typically see on a 110V system.

    4:00 the reason why the meter exploded: as he said his meter was on "current". His 20 A plug is directly shorted to ground with a thick copper wire. Which means, probing the 240 V socket is the same with shorting itself, yields extra power and explodes the copper wire inside. I'm pretty surprised the house's breaker didn't open after a sudden circuit short.

      Well, it's actually 220V and 127V. And the reason the lower voltage is 127 instead of 120 is so wiring two phases together gives you exactly 220V, which allows you to do what Mehdi did more reliably (but you probably want to wire up a proper socket instead of making this two plug monstrosity he did).

    Brazil is a lot of fun: we get 127 V where I'm writing this, but drive north for an hour and 220 V is standard, a legacy from decisions by early local utilities. In some places it's a matter of crossing the street, apparently. Similar to North America, some appliances need 220 V, and homes in 127 V areas can get two phases offset by 120° for those.

      In a lot of houses there's rooms that are 127 and another's that are 220,it's really wild

      In Ottawa where i live 122-123V is the norm though I've seen it sag to 118V before and rise to 125V before. I've even had my UPS trip on an OVER voltage from the utility but that was a rare event.

      In Brazil some cities have 220V line voltage (that is 127v phase voltage), other cities have 380V line voltage (or 220V phase voltage) but the 380v voltage is not used in residential applications.
