Enjoying your videos as a curious homeowner laymen. I recently went around my house and tested all my outside GFCIs. Some did not reset. Watching this made me realize the failure to reset means the receptacle needs to be replaced as the electronics have failed. That makes sense but was totally not obvious.
I haven't even watched the whole video yet, I just want to evangelize about the wonders of audible alarm GFCIs - these should be the standard! It's a really user friendly option for everybody!
Mike definitely has a method of teaching that makes it easy to follow and understand, so definitely gotta give him props. Thank you for all your materials. Mike.
Mike you look so good. Serving the Lord and others along with a good life has a very positive effect. Thank you for all your efforts. After 50 years in the trade you are the champion of electrical safety and a personal hero of mine. Long life good health and prosperity to you. Love to meet you one day and return a smile and a warm handshake! Be blessed my brother.
I’m in an apprenticeship program with the state of NC to get a standard certification as a level 1 electrical inspector and let me just tell you. Mike Holt gets mentioned a lot! 😎 Love and appreciate these videos! I keep them playing as I travel all over the state
test monthly, will do. Even though this is geared towards the students and professionals this is great information for the non-professional non-student (formal) trying to better themselves by gaining knowledge about the subject. Thanks all for doing what you do!
The required sink receptacle in bathrooms must be installed in accordance with 210.52(C), which would not permit it to be 16" above finished floor. However other receptacles in the bathroom or other rooms in residential or commercial occupancies can be installed at any height, even in the floor.
Hi Mike! I appreciate you sharing all your knowledge with all of us which has always been of an immense value to me. I have a request for you that’s probably been done in the past, but I’m sure you could make it happen. If possible to transfer all your electrical books ober to Autible or any audio format. If you do have it in this format, please advise or send link. Thank you!
Hello Mike, I have been watching and learning through your vedios for few years now. If possible can you please make a vedio on NEC Article 501. I know you made a vedio few years ago on Hazardous Area Classification. But if you would make a detailed vedio on wiring methods, Conduits, Fittings, Conduit Seals, Enclosures, Termination boxes inside Class 1 Div 1, Class 1 Div 2 areas. What are design considerations at the boundaries of each area. I work in Waste Water Industry, if you could explain using examples from lift station etc that would be great. There are multiple people around me that can use your guidance for a better understanding of Article 501. Also this will touch some topics of NFPA 820. Thanks.
I would really appreciate with all the commercial restaurant requirements if you could go over function of 3 phase breakers. I think most do not understand this
You must be using Leviton. P&S states "automatic self-test every 3 seconds. If the device ever fails, the indicator light flashes to signal it should be replaced." Now you learned something new.
I came up with an idea, imagine a non-contact voltage tester or detector, that is a watch type that you wear on your wrist, when you touch it hot wire, watch detects voltage, transmits signal to cell phone, cell phone transmits signal to disconnect with receiver and disconnects circuit, and or entire sub panel or panel, what do you think about my idea ? Oh, maybe false tripping ? Insulated coil Ring on index finger that detects current through finger, then to watch, cell phone, and trip circuit, sub panel or panel or disconnect with receiver
@@MikeHoltNEC I’m working on it now, not as easy as I thought to detect voltage, current, I am learning about op-amps, I imagine when I figure this part out, the rest will be easy, I am thinking
@@MikeHoltNEC I just posted one of my circuits I was talking about, could be smaller, could be wireless, I have many more ideas on this topic, Gene Bowdish
My products are based on the National Electrical Code for those living in the US. I feel that to provide a safe installation, the electrical professional needs to speak and read English. So there is no plan to translate any of our products into Spanish. Note: Money doesn't drive me; just electrical safety.
