.12 cents for KW ? Maybe in Miami-Dade. In Homestead its .072 per Kwh and .05 for fuel consumption... yes it is .12 cents. Do you includebfuel charge in you bill? Thank you for helping me understand how to use my multimeter.
You need to separate the Hot and the Neutral wires, which may require cutting the sleeve that holds both wires together. But don't cut the individual wire insulation.
Also charging your phone the wattage will drop as the phone charges so if the device is empty it will draw quite a lot of current yet as the it becomes closer to fully charged it will draw less current and also your saying charging the phone for 1 hour a day no more.
Good morning, I have a question? I am currently taking a test and there is a question 3. How do you maintained a Clamp-on Meter to give better results? the answers are as follow: a. Keep in ventilated and dried area b. Calibrated annually c. Lubricated after each used. Could someone assist me?
Yes, you have to separate the Line and the Neutral wires to read the current. Or you can buy a special plastic plug/splitter with already separated wires, and measure current from that plug.
Your where incorrect on that Lamp cord when you said the white wire the electrons follow in the opposite direction from the Black wire That's AC Voltage (Altering Current) which Flows in BOTH Directions ONLY DC Voltage flows in the Opposite Direction .
Yes, it's an alternating current that changes direction 120 times per second in the USA (equals 60 cycles). But that doesn't change the fact that the electrons flow in opposite directions in the black and white wires. They flow back and forth but always in opposite directions of each other.
AC will alternate in each wire 120 times per second - directions A and B for reference. When BLK wire is flow direction A, WHT wire will be flowing in B, and when BLK is flowing direction B, WHT will be in A. That's what he means by opposite direction. That also why measuring both will cancel each other on the meter... for every 1 particle flowing in Direction A, another flows in direction B resulting in zero voltage NET traveling past the meter
All of you kilowatt hour calculations are flawed. Kwh is 1000 watts x unit time (one hour). You would need to calculate how much TIME the unit is on per day. Other than that good video
Raul - you need some reading and common sense. Lets examine it, d. DIY home owner does not approve his own work/job. e. Electrical Code is a book - a book is a piece of paper....If you missed this one, you're too dumb and stupid to be in this class....

Thanks for the video, I”m a cheapo, now I know who much I am spending
I’m no electrician but you made it clear and simple.
Thanks for watching!
You’ve nailed all my questions. Subbed. Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
This video is helping me understand my 1st clamp on ammeter. Thanks from New Orleans 👍🏼⚡️🎭⚡️👍🏼
Great to hear!
I understand now..keep going bro..I from Malaysia by the way
Thanks for watching!
very helpful indeed!
i have a clamp meter but i have no idea how to use it.
thank you!
Good to hear it, and thanks for watching!
Good job👍👍
Very useful video
Glad you liked it
best video there is well explained thank you
Glad it was helpful, and thanks for watching!
I agree, thank you so much
Great. now I feel the need to calculate all my energy draws to see how much I'm spending on electricity. Thanks ;-)
LOL, thanks for watching!
Best video. You awesome man!
I appreciate that, and thanks for watching!
The dumb setup in the thumbnail got me to click, good job 😁 good video primer for the current meter too
Awesome video! Thanks 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great video.
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching!
Thankyu teacher ❤
Very interesting, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Great info , thanks . 👍
Glad it was helpful!

Nice video
Very Helpful video
Glad to hear that, and thanks for watching!
thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Can I make that cbale with a 12/3 extension cord? I find it handy for doing this, thank you.
Yes, you can. Just check the sticker with the maximum Amperage that extension cord can handle (15-20 Amps), and don't exceed that.
it was indeed helpful in 2021.... do I not have any option without exposing the internal wires?
You can buy a LINE SPLITTER tool, so you don't have to cut the insulation.
Thanks for watching!
@@Your-Self let me search for it... Thank you
You watt calcs are wrong for the Ipad. you used 120V, rather than 5 V or whatever that charger was putting out.
I hope you know this is wrong by now
Nope. He is calculating AC current. Adaptor changes it to DC at 5V but more amperes. So the calculation is same in both wires
so you have to cut open the wire? just want to make sure.

CASIO CALCULATOR! :D
it's Wh right so with the dryer your saying if you used it 1 hour a day your paying $72 a year. Not bad.

You need to switch course if you cannot answer this question correctly...If you missed it, your IQ is too low to be on this class/course.
@@thembones12 And you are too UGLY based your picture... lol
@@raulnavarro9500 Yes, I'm more uglier than you are...😍😎🤣🙌🤳🤳or Maybe, you're uglier than me...

So you have to strip the insulation to get a read. That’s not the way it’s advertised
Yes, you have to separate the Line and the Neutral wires to read the current.
Or you can buy a special plastic plug/splitter with already separated wires, and measure current from that plug.
Technically you are not removing any insulation from the wire. You are only removing the protective sheathing.
Absolutely no bare wire should be exposed ⚡️

Good thing I don’t use my hairdryer for one hour a day.
Who approves a raceway?
d. The home job owner
e. The Electrical code
f. The City Code
Could someone assist me?

Practice keeping camera still. Hate getting seasickness.
