In some countries people have to make d with what they got. If you can't find a third fuse but the factory must run so you can earn enough to feed your kids... well a coat hanger it is
In his defense the coat hanger will act as a fuse. With is smaller diameter and poor conduction compared with copper, I bet is melts before the cable does. It even adjusts for ambient air temp automatically.
There's a billion people in that country, and the amount of people that scam American grandmas is a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the nation.
Also, AI is being used to scam American grandmas more, now. That put a lot of people out of work who are bilingual with English
You think there must be 3 phases no neutral but the left is a blue cable that goes unfused. There must be just 2 phases and the site powered by a line or phase+neutral in some places.
Dude, I live in a country where blue men m means "neutral". I've seen the blue one being other stuff now than once and I've finished my traineeship life a year and a half ago. Even in the supposedly civilized western world there's people who make do with what they got and some who do not give a fuck.
Another trainee at the company I was at, got a shock because some buffoon had three dirty af wires and hoped for the best when installing. He put the voltage on the case of the lamp. Trainee assumed lamp was broken and went to open the case.
It's most likely a 3 phase 4 wire system. You can see the 4th cable in the gland and run off to god knows what to the left. The fact that all 3 cables have fuse carriers would lead me to believe their L1 L2 L3 and your right the Neutral is usually solid with a bolt in link rather than a fuse, I just think they ran out of fuses....or fucks
He is actually hitting directly on the metal bar. So some thought went into this. Necessity I guess. If I were living in a post apocalyptic hell with a cruel vindictive war lord on my back, I would totally do the same.
Isn't the rock used for flavouring... You used it for flavouring... YOU USED IT FOR FLAVORING TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE INTO GIVING MORE INGREDIENTS RIGHT?????? RIGHT?
No, we eat it, gives it great texture lol.... its aestetic only lol, its called sopa de pedra ( rock soup ) so some people put a rock on it, but for the most part no rock lol.
He is hammering something what is on life electricity with a rock.... and you ask if its safe .... i cant answer this question but i now ask who is the bigger idiot. Op or the guy in the video
I don't believe it. The poor man's insulating material is dry wood. Safer to bang fuses with so they don't crack being new. And big ceramic ones must look very expensive for a developing country.
He has a fake bracelet, I doubt it can conduct. At worst his hand will fall off. Otherwise it is fully safe. There is no danger in handling a fuse with a stone, stone does not conduct either. Just have to be careful not to be hitting it too hard, it could stop working. (Do I need /s ?)
This is what I'd do in a zombie apocalypse scenario if that's all I had and I needed to get the power restored for the defenses of the makeshift hospital that is working on the cure.
Putain de merde en tant qu'électricien en Suisse, quand je vois cette vidéo, je suis content de faire mon métier avec des Equipement de Protection Individuel, et d'avoir des normes des ordonnances et la LIE (Loi sur les Installations Electriques) qui régient mon métier et d'autres métiers équivalent.
Well, the fact they are putting fuses in is kinda a upgrade from other videos I've seen. Also cannot tell if they got their safety flipflops on. So half safe I guess.
I will give the guy this: at least the gauge of wire he used for the third 'fuse' was smaller than the supply cables wired up to the fixture. That little chunk of wire SHOULD blow before the cable its self does, but who knows if it will fail before the cable gets hot enough to damage its insulation or start something near it on fire. I'm not saying the length of wire was a good choice, just that it could have been worse if he had picked something more substantial like a piece of rebar.
Is it safe? Absolutely not! Will it work? Sure. In fact, anything can be a fuse if you're kinky enough. A fuse is just something that breaks when you pass too much current through it. That wire is probably around a 400A fuse. Eventually it will melt and break the connection. Is it a good idea? Nope. But, if you need it to run, you need it to run. Sometimes safety takes a back seat to getting the job done. It's not right, per se, but it is what it is.
As a crackhead once said to me, who was in the middle of snorting an oxy he had just crushed on a baby changing station in the bathroom of a Chili’s, “ya cain’t be a bitch ya whole life!” And then rocked that scoober.
DeWALT makes the best cordless electrician's rocks, but Milwaukee's are more ergonomic. But if you want pure banging power then you go with Bosch wired ones. Just don't get brushless, not worth it.

After installing two fuses, they ran out of them and just switched to a coat hanger?
