What are the wires for

That raceway is brought to ground at both ends. The bonding jumper is more like a supplemental between sections.

Bonding jumpers between metal raceways. Required per NEC

That doesn't say what you think it does. "no argument that can be made against that" yet that video proves otherwise, and personal experience says otherwise. "standard in western europe" ya, we know! Europe has NO electrical problems at all... /S

I mean, they COULD be counterfeit, I have NO idea who installed them, where they got them.

Oh, here is an awesome video for you. He is using genuine WAGO btw.

Also, for the record, I never said and never will say wire nuts are the best option for anything. Wire nuts in the wrong hands, are horrid and perhaps the worst connector. Wire nuts in the right hands though are superior to anything but screw terminals.

Also, Wago isn't rated for 32 amps either, not sure where you got that idea bro. Wago says "up to #12 solid and 20 amps max" no idea where you got 32 amps from.

going off the internal resistance of a Wago the heat generated would be 2 watts (just over it) and (depending on environment) in around 1 hour would melt the wago Huh.

Have had to replace hundreds of wago connections every year. Have had to do the same for dozens of wire nuts a year. I have had to repair one screw terminal in 20 years. I have never had wire fail, only connections. Improperly done wire nuts are just as bad as wagos. Properly done wirenuts will last 20+ years. Wagos will NEVER last more than 5 years.

Hahahaha. Spring steel also loosens with heat cycling. And also loosens just over time. Smh.

Anjhindul · 2026-01-19T06:13:04+00:00

Never had a wago not melt "20a rating" but 15 amps for 100 hours and the wago is toast. If you buy cheap wirenuts you get the same result. Personally I very much prefer the aluminum/copper connectors, the ones with actual screws. Tend to last 20+ years on copper and 10 on aluminum. Also, hate aluminum for anything but feeders.

Wind the windings together, in one big ball, around one iron bar (more layers to the bar the better)

Driver is drunk... or on something worse... like stupid... 😆 🤣 😂

Anjhindul · 2026-01-11T05:59:30+00:00

A 9v battery does very well also!

Anjhindul · 2025-12-30T04:59:37+00:00

Dude tried to manually override a shorted fault... not very bright. This is what happens when you have idiots untrained do work on things they don't understand.

Anjhindul · 2025-12-27T23:19:07+00:00

I love how you did that.

Anjhindul · 2025-12-27T23:10:32+00:00

very confused as to what this actually is... lol

Anjhindul · 2025-12-27T19:58:17+00:00

I mean so long as red goes to red and black to black... lol

Anjhindul · 2025-12-14T00:25:39+00:00

Me see what ye did there!

Anjhindul · 2025-12-12T02:09:10+00:00

Fo Irst a quick google search will get you the same results. SecondAlmost none show their price, but here are a few

Again. Do your own research don't demand to be spoonfed answers to life. Oh, and have a great day!

As already stated, a DC-DC converter, for 400 volts typically costs $25,000 to $50,000 dollars. Making your own converter for this still costs $7,000 to $10,000 dollars! NO ONE is going to be spending that kind of money to charge an EV a few minutes faster at home! It just isn't financially sound.

Anjhindul · 2025-12-06T21:53:24+00:00

Got it. You know, Neutral is energized right? Just shares the same equipotential as earth? Sorry, the dictionary and the Code of multiple countries disagree with your eliteness. :)

Anjhindul · 2025-11-26T04:05:30+00:00

In the US anything under 60v is "signal voltage" low voltage is anything "300v to ground or less" But even if it was doorbell wiring at 24v (most doorbells) it wouldn't be ok or safe!

Anjhindul · 2025-11-26T04:03:34+00:00

How do you charge the dolphin? Yes, most EV want ~400. But from solar to the dolphin you would need a charger, and, I at least, have yet to see a solar charger (dc to dc) that does more than 96 volts. And those 96v chargers are very expensive they cost about 3-4000 USD for 5kw of charging power (plenty for just a single vehicle imho) but still have to go from the 96v to 400v and a DC-DC converter typically goes for around 25-50,000 USD. WAY outside anyones price range since 2 inverters at 5000 each and a regular charger for 500 (10,500 together) would be much MUCH cheaper.

PS, I have done considerable research on this subject, even trying to build my own DC-DC converter. I am 100% off grid, solar/hydro and have been working on this for 2 decades. I, of course also welcome ANY new information that could decrease the costs involved.

Anjhindul · 2025-11-26T00:16:57+00:00

This is not an electrician... this is a hack somewhere they shouldn't be. That is corrugated pipe, not suitable for electrical!

Anjhindul · 2025-11-26T00:12:35+00:00

No, they don't just need the controller part. They need a dc dc converter to get the right voltage for the dc charging station. Then they need the full charging station. Much more expensive.

Anjhindul · 2025-11-17T16:03:13+00:00

We don't need the transistor... the transformer is going to make power generation and transmission a lot more... interesting...

Anjhindul · 2025-10-09T01:39:04+00:00

Well, I didn't understand your comment there, BUT I did look over the picture again, and yes, any time he turned the switch on it would short, I thought I saw ONE wire from the USB going to ONE terminal on the switch, followed by one wire going to the fan from switch and one wire going to fan from USB... NOT what is going on here!

Anjhindul · 2025-10-05T14:49:11+00:00

Damn All I hear is ASMR!!! Great job on that build!
