    Dave, Thanks again. I’m going to watch this a few times so I totally absorb what’s going on. As a great philosopher once said, “It is not what you know, but what you understand. I want to become an electrician who understands & you make that journey much easier for me.

    Another great video, Thanks again Dave!
    Have you done anything on wiring PIR and Dusk to Dawn sensors into existing circuits with switches or without etc… ? Another thing would be connections in series and parallel.
    Your style of programming watching is amazing, thank you again!

    Great video Dave. Hope there will be a follow up video discussing the iron, copper and fixed losses that causes these inefficiencys and the ways on how to improve PF.

    Well done, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Is there a formula to find the amps on that nameplate at 13:10? I can’t seem to make sense of the amperage rating on the motor?

    • @learnelectrics4402
      @learnelectrics4402  7 місяців тому

      The amps are printed on the nameplate. Have another look. Thanks for watching. Dave.

    Great video and well explained. Thank you for making these amazing videos. I just have one question. Using the motor data plate shown on the video if the voltage (400) is multiplied by current (11) equals 4.4KVA. It’s lower than the true power shown (5.5KW). I thought the apparent power is always greater than the true power. What am I missing? Thank you.

    • @learnelectrics4402
      @learnelectrics4402  Рік тому +1

      There are some calculations that will be part of the second video involving root 3, or 1.71 and so on. Watch this space and thanks for watching this one. Dave.

    Hi love the videos. Always come back to your content.
    Ok to ask a question tho. Client is upgrading to 3 phase from 2 phases in the application it asks for the kva. The upgrade is for 10 flats.
    Where would you get the figures for the equations if you don’t know what the main fuses will be. For example if you looking to fit a 315 amp 10 way distribution GFP10.
    Would you put 315 and 400 v ?
    Hope that’s clear enough. Thanks again

    • @learnelectrics4402
      @learnelectrics4402  6 місяців тому

      We don't run 2 phase circuits. either 3 phase or single phase. thanks for watching. Appreciated.

    Fantastic explanation Dave. Im building a house at the minute and NIE are upgrading the existing transformer from 25 KVA to 50 KVA. DOes that mean 50000 volt amperes surely thats very high unless some is lost on the overhead cables plus its feeding other properties. I assume another transformer close to the build will step that down to 230 volts or near abouts to allow for voltage drop etc. DO you have a video on how electricity gets to a house etc.

    • @learnelectrics4402
      @learnelectrics4402  Рік тому +1

      Yes, the voltage will be stepped down to user friendly values. the reason the incoming voltages are so high is in order NOT to lose power in the overhead supply. I have thought of making a video on this, perhaps I should get it done. thanks for the prompt. Dave.

    Great video. Can I ask though I’ve come across various items and most of time they generally just show kva or Va rating so when choosing cable and breaker do you usually just work it out to that Va or Kva rating as that’s 100%? Thanks

    • @learnelectrics4402
      @learnelectrics4402  Рік тому

      Yes, using the VA figures is ok. Have a look at this video on cable sizes. Dave.

    at 1.04, you should not say "Current, the Amps". It is Current, measured in Amps. Less importantly, a dimensionless factor is usually expressed relative to unity or '1' You do say this, but then slip into expressing it as '%' which is strictly incorrect and unnecessary. You know your stuff, but you tend to over-state things by mixing your terms in a way that could confuse. If folk don't get it they will re-wind. Good series though. Each topic is the right length, delivery has a good pace, and a lot of effort has gone into producing clear, concise graphics.
