AC Basics: Learn All About Alternating Current
video description
I learned this because I wanted 3 phase power at home to power equipment but couldn't get it because I wasn't close enough to an industrial park(so I bought a phase converter. Commercial areas don't have the signal phase transformer converter out on the lines so they get direct 3 phase power.

Should there be no current flowing through the neutral wire in a home? I see it goes back to the ground in the electrical box however no electricity flows in my mind without a ground to complete the circuit. So I'm confused about what's happening because in your diagram, it apparently shows only the hot side doing all the work

The split phase transformer doesn't split a single phase into two, it outputs two lower voltage circuits (instead of one, like a conventional transformer) that are in phase with each other. If it did output two phases, then the voltages from the two hot wires would no be in sync. Great video nevertheless.

Are the two coils of a given phase coiled in opposite directions? I would think that if they're in the same direction, the force applied on the electrons by each side of the magnet would oppose each other and cancel out, no?

My entire world changed when I discovered the relation between photons and electrons. I didn't understand the weight of these concepts while in school. Thank God for the internet. Learning is a gift.

EngineeringMindset How would one go about using these videos for training aids where we would like to download and embed them into a standalone format? Can we pay for the rights to use the videos?

Excellent, as always! Your animations and explanations are spot on. I would like to see an in-depth video just on three phase. I find it fascinating yet difficult to understand.

Current changes direction 50 and 60 times a second. The sine wave frequency is 50 and 60 Hz.
In a DC sine wave signal at 50 Hz, the current doesn't change direction.

Hi. I would like to make generator from electric engine and old VW engine. Can i use electric engine directly or i will need to do some magic things with this engine?

Why are people saying there is an energy crisis when electrons moving back and forward literally cant run out. And before you start with the inputs for this, do one.

Could you pls tell me, HOW ENERGY ACTUALLY FLOWS in AC wire, if the electrons keep moving back-and-forth by the magnetic field and basically they don't go anywhere?

Your video's have a way of explaining a complex subject very easily. Wish your videos were available 55 years ago when I was learning about AC power. Thanks

Zero doesnt exist it means nothing and you can never have nothing because you cannot create or destroy matter so? Whats zero?

Really hope u will dig way down in this. Because lots of the videos on YT is just waaay to basic for engineering
