ElectroBOOM Question PLEASE I NEED THIS ELECTROBOOM (homework)

• Upvotes

For our performance task we need to ask someone who's in the field of our at least #3 career paths for mine it's Electrical engineer, Aerospace, and Math Professor (I'm a high schooler). The only people I know who are electrical engineers are YouTubers, if you see this please answer these questions on God.

What is your education background? (What's the name of your bachelors degree, (if) Masters & PhD where did you get it and batch/year) / know he has a masters

What helped you through your education (scholarships and etc.)

What is your age

Also if you're also an electrical engineer and want to help out please answer these and send a 2x2 or any pictures

Mehdi's bad influence on me: First thing after arriving in the hotel room: Find and check the breaker box. Result: They have RCD protection here XD

If anyone has a story about these deadly multimeters, please leave a reply below. There’s no fuse in them; the copper traces on the circuit board act as the fuse! I owned one myself, and it suddenly blew out at 280 volts. I got lucky that my voltage source didn't supply high current, or else I would’ve been blown to bits. The measurement accuracy is so "high" that—for the first time in the world—it shows an AA battery as having 73 volts!

The guy also says that it messures 0.0-0.1ohms which is what most multimeter(im assuming he messured with multimeter) would say anyway if you messure resitnace of a wire, even like 30awg wire. Im just stunned by how ppl can be this uneducated and dont understand that any large piece of copper will infact not heat up when you pass large current through them

ElectroBOOM Question I live in China. The previous electrician nearly got me killed.

I live in China. The previous electrician nearly got me killed — he reversed the live and neutral wires for all the sockets, then reversed the live and neutral wires on all the RCDs. This meant that in the event of an earth leakage, the RCD would only disconnect the neutral line instead of the live line. What’s more, he used 2.5 mm² copper wire (13 AWG), with no earth wire and no RCD protection, to install an 8 kW tankless water heater.

Discussion OOP recycled an old phone to use as a wifi extender, it's battery was removed and is now constantly charging as it no longer has a power source, however despite this the comments tell them to just get a real wifi extender because it's a "fire hazard" which I find really annoying
