Heaters Overvoltage & Electrical Explosions

120 volt heaters face up to and over 480 Volts AC. The result is a rapid meltdown and the 20kW power supply claiming it's victory/victories. One of the heaters flashed over at 480V causing an explosion. It scared the shit out of me.

As photonicinduction would say: I popped it!

[@RODALCO2007]

Variac Maniac should get a job working for UL Underwriter's Laboratories.

[@Ronnocbot]

Keep up the good work! I love your content

[@VariacManiac]

Thank you! More vids to come shortly 🤙

[@youdontknowme5969]

aw, I have an Oster a lot like that, great little oven
i'm surprised the electronics in it didn't complain about the overvoltage

[@VariacManiac]

Yea, I've got one now and it does miracles! It was all in good fun though.

[@foureyedchick]

@@VariacManiac The digital electronics are all low voltage, about 5v.

[@ghosted9108]

I’m watching this at night and that flash almost killed me💀😂

[@VariacManiac]

Scarier in person.

[@jakeeves5935]

This is also a good theaching video showing what could happen if your not careful with voltage on appliances and the consequences of not doing so such as potential fire hazard

don't let him cook again

[@Flofy387]

Next time leave them on triple the power to let everthing glow and melt. :D

[@danek_hren]

Your power meter looks suspiciously like photonicindiction's

[@thewindevtech]

Those two Power Meters on your 18kW power supply, where did you get them from? I am looking for some too for my 5kW power supply.

[@VariacManiac]

I got them on eBay for around $140, they're made by ColdFusion.

[@bestage9429]

They look a lot like the ones used on Photonicinduction's big power supply!

[@controlandpower]

Just letting you know Variac Maniac I just posted another update to my build and I think you may like it, -Control And Power

[@KonnerSmith-oc5el]

Not cooked A toaster

[@explosivegardenreboot]

You popped it lol

[@VariacManiac]

Old clips, hope ya enjoyed man!

[@Kepler_2258]

Electricity is so fun to mess around with lol I used an Induction Cooker to drive an ancient AC Flyback and I can get 30kv out of it with Extremely Hot Arcs (it can vaporize copper and give the arc a green tint) so it’s pretty neat

[@VariacManiac]

Come to think of it, my friend actually popped it.

[@ItsaRomethingeveryday]

I have a europro oven like this one and it's a great little oven, lol Ike first one in the vid

[@VariacManiac]

Sort of feel bad for not restoring them, but most are cheap anyway. I have one now and it does miracles.
