Turkish Electricals Are Almost TOO CLEAN

We visited mosques, churches, castles, shops, alleys, ships, stuff in Istanbul, Türkiye! And I barely saw anything out of order in their electrical system, other than usual… Should I have looked harder? Let me know in the comments!

Below are my Super HUGE Patrons!

HEY! Sorry for kind of irrelevant music. They are still from from middle east and I tried to find things as close as possible, but Turkish music has a distinct flavor and unfortunately YouTube library doesn't have good ones in there, and I can't be bothered with copyrighted music!! YouTube needs to have a more complete library, somehow.

I'm working at the hotel that he and his family stayed. In my 17 years of life i would have NEVER think of seeing him in person. UNTIL HE CAME INTO THE HOTEL IM WORKING AT! His family was very kind and sweet, and as expected he is just as energetic and kind. And if you ever see this comment Mr. Mehdi, i'm keeping that 10 Turkish Lira at the back of my phone, and i parted the rest of the tip to my colleagues. And as i said when you were about to check out, please keep doing what you're doing. Thank you very much for the content and always being so kind. <3

04:15 you were right in front of my old workshop 😮 half of the videos in my channel were made there.
Sorry on behalf of the Turkish electricians for the habit of grounding the neutral btw.

Man checks in a hotel and starts dismantling their electrical system. Such a legend

[Carlos-cums]

Mehdi traveling with his family to inspect the electrical system of different counties should be a Netflix series.

Having done electrical work around my home, I can say with pure belief that people like you exist for a reason. My breakers are a mess. it took a week to get one circuit up to code. Calling up an electrician and seeing him work his magic across 24 circuits in less than two days without starting a fire was a sight to behold. My guess is that the previous owner just found a live and neutral wire whenever he wanted to hook something up, paying no mind to the circuits and where they run to

Hotel Staff sees Mehdi booking in: *Sweating intensifies.... "Book him the best electrically safe room"

Welcome Mehdi, please feel at home. The establishment of the Turkish grid and debates on AC/DC is a compelling story. I strongly recommend a book/report called Türkiye'nin Elektrikfikasyonu (Electrification of Turkey) by Refik Fenmen (1935). For instance, Fenmen's team has visited the Niagara Falls Hydroelectric Power Station (Westinghouse), which is the first large-scale application of Tesla's AC system. Inspired by Niagara Falls, a small-scale hydroelectric power plant was established on Çaylak Falls in Susurluk/Balıkesir (I am working on establishing an industrial heritage museum here).

to 1:00 → these sockets are called "Schuko" which is short for "Schutz-Kontakt" (Schutz means safety). 
it was invented almost 100 years ago in 1925 by the german Albert Büttner from Nuremberg, Bavaria.

In Türkiye, for a short time, you must feel the electricity in your body before the breaker pops. This is how exactly we learn that playing with electricity is dangerous. 5:10

Excellent video Mehdi. We hope to see you again.
I've been utility locating for 25 years in the US and Turkey, the real mess is below the ground. Popping manholes is a little more challenging than fuse boxes, there are also more convenient spikes to look out for.

[thracian]

electro you finally came <3.
around 2005-2010 all the electrical cables on the entire countries streets were buried underground!
the way way when breaker pops if the rooms/houses breaker even on theres another breaker at the entrance of the building for specially rooms/houses individually from preventing the continues fire hazard :D so double protection.

I believe the plumbing at 2:40 is for in-floor heating.

So, as a graduated electronics engineer from Turkey, I've spent lots of time at the passage showed up in 14:25 .
You may find any kind of electronic components there. Good place to visit.

Hey Mehdi! I went to Turkey 2 years ago with my family and went to the same place where you went! I'm glad you got a chance to go there! I took my vacation there for 2 weeks and had fun there! And we are in the same hotel!!
