ElectroBoom = come for a guy who shocks himself, stay for education

[TheZipperDragon]

I feel like out of all the times he's shocked & burned himself, his customer service experience was the most painful thing he's done on this channel.

0:49 - 0:54 Talking about China, showing Turkey Flag and play Soviet National oh man, that's a crazy combination!

I am a retired Electronics technician and I want everyone to know this guy is NOT full of B.S. He knows what he is talking about and demonstrates it par excellent.

Everytime he says "lets plug it in" i panic internally.

He talks about China, puts up the Turkish flag and plays the soviet anthem, he is truly Mr. Worldwide

There is one relatively rare circumstance where PFC would make a difference in residential electricity usage. If the utility is supplying electricity with a bad power factor on incoming power. In which case, all your electric motor devices, such as an air conditioner, will have to draw more current to operate. This happened to my parents, because the local distribution transformer had a problem that was supplying power with a very bad power factor. When they replaced it, my parent’s electricity bill dropped nearly 50% on average. The electricity supplier denied this was possible and refused to refund the overcharges for any prior months.

With the new "smart" meters they can unfortunately start charging for apparent power instead of real power. And that can be done remotely. If they do that then suddenly things with capacitive droppers like time switches and will cost about 10 times as much to run and most LED lamps will cost between twice and ten times as much to run depending on their circuitry.
Sadly, a simple capacitor won't fix most electronic power factor issues. But it's a nice case and can be used as a shocker. (but with a much bigger capacitor)

Speaks about China
Plays Soviet anthem
Shows Turkish flag

Lol

Gotta love the man

Respect to the customer service, I have to say. I've had people tell me stuff that outright isn't true because they didn't understand their systems, but they were willing to go right up the chain to get the answer you wanted. It might have taken you a while, but I respect they were willing to go out of their way to answer what would be an unusual question for a home customer.

A box with a tiny light that comes on when you plug it in. How does the United States allow these things to be advertised?
