    We bought a Waterpik flosser last January before a family trip to Australia despite my warnings to my mother that Australia's 240 volts of line power would fry it! Sure enough...

    • @raulbila46
      @raulbila46 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      there is a tolerance of +15% where these motors can run overvoltaged, but not +90% voltage increase

    • @ianhosier4042
      @ianhosier4042 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's the frequency that controls the speed not the volts but they certainly have more torque at the higher voltage due to the higher coil current and of course eventually the coils burn out due to drawing roughly 4 times the power they should.

    • @Yelawolf269

    I had one of those ear-trimmer clippers that wouldn't run anymore on an AA battery, so I just spliced a 5V AC adapter onto it. It got hot and I made a point of putting the blades under the faucet before using it, but it worked much more aggressively than when new for a couple of years that way.

    Gary is probably the person who hand drew that PCB in the clock. A Variac is more fun here in the UK as it allows you to overvolt even 230v stuff. I blew quite a lot of American stuff up on it when we were refurbishing the lab starting at 110v and then ramping up the volts until the magic smoke came out. I remember that 110v AC fans don't go any faster on 275v but they definitely run buzzier and hotter until they release the magic smoke!

    • @HarleyBadger
      @HarleyBadger 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yep, there will be more to come, and upgrades as well ;-) I just happened to have three of these transformers in a bin, no idea what specifically their original use would have been, because they all have the normal US standard outlet on them...so that sort of defies logic. Any foreign 230v appliance wouldn't have the US plug on it, but maybe it's that way for plug-adaptor use.

    • @davida1hiwaaynet
      @davida1hiwaaynet 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      One word - China. In China many household goods have the standard 2-flat-blade plug like we have. Their standard outlet has the ability to accept a round pin or flat-blade plug.
      Many of the China domestic market devices have the 2-flat-blade plug WITHOUT the holes in the ends of the blades like ours do.

      Thanks! And yep, next time I'm just gonna bypass them from the start. And 310 would be a weird voltage (in the US anyhow) because it's generally multiples of 120'ish, based on the supply transformer to the house. 120, 240, 480, etc, with 208 and 277 being exceptions, usually on three-phase service to businesses.

On the other side, a heat pump dryer can just about be put anywhere since it plugs into a standard wall outlet and requires no vent but on the other hand, they are much slower and won’t completely dry everything since items will be slightly damp after it’s done.

      No, it isn't running the same wattage. Depending on the type of load, it could be drawing nearly 4x it's normal power at 2x rated voltage. Best thing for busting electronics is anything from around 500V to 5kV at considerable current (at least 20kVA apparent power).

      That transformer is probably rated 100VA max (and that's like 1A on the LV side), so massively underrated. I happen to have a 690V 12.5kVA transformer at home (it's a beast, weighs 200lb or probably more), but I need a 240V 63A breaker to run it (which I haven't got yet). That along with a 20kVA variac, and I'll pop microwave ovens like a 1/4w resistor hooked up to mains.

    ...aww. :/
    11:19 - ...Hopefully this time...?
    ...awww. thewmaw fyooz... :/
    13:00 - take two... Dammit, breaker! :/
    13:25 - take three... Dammit, fan, you're supposed to fry YOURSELF, not the transformer! :p
    14:32 - final take... ummmm your fan just caught fire standing still. Is that SUPPOSED to happen at a Grand Prix? :p
    15:16 - Lightbulbs now; bulb one.
    ...Aww, it didn't even heat up!

      Yes. Spats is still on that career path and I was until 2012, I finished my degree and now am on a different path. Although I still engineer and consult with my father in my downtime.

    What about a hair dryer on 230v If possible
    A shitty crt tv that is only good for scrap on 230v

    • @HarleyBadger
      @HarleyBadger 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm pretty sure a TV would simply make a single pop and be done... A hair dryer is a good idea, especially since the fan will probably fail more quickly than the elements :-) Not sure if my transformer would support the 6 or so amps though. I'd like to explore bigger transformers, or maybe even some sort of rig involving our existing 240v outlet (not shown, but to the right of the video just past the white cabinets.) Actually, that's an idea. I could rig up a power cable, plug it into that outlet, and use a contactor...that would give me remote control, too...so I could stand way back and not be limited to 3 feet away. Huh...ideas, ideas... :-)

    • @X-RAGE
      @X-RAGE 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Harley Badger great, i was also thinking about you could try to pop a big industrial incandescent light buld
      unlike the european 240v our 240v outlet have 2 120v power line per each side removing the neutral and a ground, some of them is 10amps while theres One with 15amp
      The 240v one is actually the same outlet type as the Australian 240v but the 15amp as horizontal prongs instead

    • @matthewbest7513
      @matthewbest7513 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I accidently did that one time
      Was one vacation in the Phillipines which is 220v 60hz. One time and the hotel room had 2 different type of outlets. Type A us style and type C Asian and European. The book in the room said type A was 110v which is common in hotels because a lot of Americans go there. Needless to say I plugged in my 110v hair dryer turned it on. It turned red hot and the motor ran really fast.
