@@LiveOutLoud321 - I always found it easy, because I want to become now-right as soon as possible, and as far as the annoying element, there is also a positive feedback in being the kind of person who can just say they were wrong, and it feels good to demonstrate that trait, which overrides the annoyingness of being wrong, for me.
Keep that ice cream maker running any longer and your power company is gonna call the cops and tell them you're growing 12 acres of weed its drawing so much power lmaooooo
it's probably a 20 amp breaker (maybe 15), which is only 2400 watts. a large window unit AC can go up to like 1500. so it's really not that much power all things considered
No the machines McDonald's uses are basically designed to fail. There was a third party who made a device to hack into them that made them actually functional and so many stores started using them McDonald's sued them.
0:56 “do you wanna eat ice cream” being code for “but like can you also make it for us from scratch before that” is such a funny boyfriend move 😂 QT to the rescue
Nah it’s because McDonald’s corporate has a deal with the ice cream company where they make money whenever the ice cream machine needs fixing. It’s because of greed and screwing over franchise owners.
@@SirPerfectfulthe EU supply is also AC, but at 230 Volts, that’s what the problem is here - the ice cream maker is expecting nearly double the voltage it’s getting from a US domestic socket.
@@mosmarb 240V appliances don't have the plug that the ice cream maker has. North American 240V plugs have 4 blades, one for each hot lead, the neutral, and a ground. It's impossible for the machine to accept 240V in its configuration. There are only 3 leads on the plug and 240V requires 4. Maybe the machine was designed to accept 240V as well for other markets, but that plug can only supply 120V. The appliance runs when plugged into a 120V circuit. Breakers trip when too much current passes through them. So this was likely a 20A max appliance, but they had it plugged into a 15A circuit (the kitchen receptacles didn't support the horizontal blade of NEMA 5-20p plugs required for 20A circuits). The plug on the appliance is a NEMA 5-15p, so I assume there is still a way to run it off 120V/15A, otherwise they would have used a NEMA 5-20p. Maybe if you only operate one side of the machine it reduces the power requirement; it seems like they used both sides the whole time.
The voltage doesnt matter, as the type of plug dictates that. you can see the maximum current on the back to see if it goes beyond your breaker. If it doesnt it may be just shite
Yeah if it has a nema 5-15 plug it shouldn't pull more than that circuit can handle. Assuming they didn't have another major load on both circuits, t's 100% on the ice cream maker
@@ian54589 That's not entirely true. A 15 amp circuit can only handle a continuous load of about 12 amps. If you draw between 12 and 15 amps it'll run for a while, but the breaker will eventually trip (like in the video). There's also an issue of power factor causing it to draw more current as the load increases, which is probably why it tripped the breaker faster once the ice cream was mostly frozen. You could argue that it should have a 20 amp plug on it, but it's designed for commercial use so most customers probably don't have an issue with it.
@@jayleno2192 That's true, I did look on Amazon and all the similar looking machines I looked at in the $1500 price range are 20A rated. Thinking about it more it's a bit surprising that their kitchen doesn't have a 20A circuit, I guess older home that only has the finishes/appliances updated.
@@jayleno2192 you are so close to being correct, but its not power factor that is causing the issue, it's already assumed to be 0.8 (which is very common) so its bounding, its rare your house has less than 0.8 pf and industrial settings more often regulate their pf since they get could get charged for their apparent power consumption rather than active power if the pf is poor. You can look at the product page and see its rated for 2200W at 23A FLC, even though 2200W/120V is ~18.33A. That's where the 0.8 pf comes into play, 18.33/0.8 is ~23A. You are correct when you alluded that the inverse time overload protection will trip past 80% of the circuit's rated amperage for continuous duty (or rather more accurately to the NEC, protective devices for continuous loads are sized 125% which is equivalent to 80% of the circuit breakers capacity), but this ice cream machine just needs a higher amperage circuit to run. It's very likely the machine is meant to be plugged into a 30A circuit (or higher), which is not a thing in most residential circuits but much more common in industrial settings (which is what this is made for, duh). This also explains why the ice cream machine lasted longer but still tripped on the oven receptacle since that is most likely connected to a 20A circuit since that's where most 20A circuits are on residential environments so the protective device (most likely something along the lines of a 50 51 relay scheme) needed more time to detect the overload on the inverse time compared to the 15A circuit it was connected to earlier in the video.
Not sure if anyone will read this but the issue is the amperage and not just the voltage, probably need to make sure it’s a 20-30 amp circuit getting 220v depending on wattage used, some homes have them and most businesses do, if not an electrician can run a line from the mains
Yeah I was surprised their oven plug tripped aswell. The only other one I was thinking could work would be for the fridge or washer/dryer but depending on the hook up. It wouldn’t work.
When qt starts explaining stuff in the kitchen my brain gets activated like a sleeper agent to listen & focus because i know im going to learn something lol
you should be able tro run the ice cream machine . The load of the fridge and the Machine is probably what is tripping it just use an extension connect the machine in a separate room. If it doesn't check the Kitchen breaker values it should usually be 15-20 . if its lower try switching it to higher rated Breaker .

Found the electrician! You do the lords work my friend. O7
Why didn't the lights dim turning it on? Aren't homes built to put appliances before lighting so when you draw to much power it dims the lights to compensate?
@@ZzColdzDeathzZ well it not the power supply decreasing if the supply was decreasing then dimming would be visible since it is trip due to high current the Power goes to zero in an instant .
Watching Lud be right TWICE in this video while Yingling and QT were wrong was actually so funny. It's basic math, too, how did the English major get it right?!
Hi, Electrician, HVAC service technician and commissioner for commercial and industrial construction here, popular misconception- the motor in your ice cream maker has a high amp draw, while not directly involved with voltage (which your voltage is most likely not the problem), your problem is the breaker is undersized. Which means the wires going to that outlet are undersized. You size the wires to the load in proportion to voltage required and amp draw of equipment being used in that facility. The reason it would work and then stop working is because the machines motor having to work harder to get the ice cream below a given temperature increased the amp draw. Your ice cream maker is fine lol it just needs a bigger breaker. Also, if curious, the breaker is used to protect the wire to the outlet/equipment. Inline/ in-series fuses protect the load/equipment, if you wanted to protect it, I suggest using a disconnect with fuses before the ice cream machine. My wife owns her own bakery. We had a similar problem initially. Hope this helps someone. Anyways, big fans, we love dubbin.
4:40 I've pulled that on two friends who hadn't really baked before, I offered the extract and asked if they wanted to try a little (like a bit on their finger). Their faces were hilarious! 😂
6:41 ludwig brain is is a spin cycle trying to figure out this math….wait oh shit….holy moly he did the math in his head. that’s not enough milk he’s crazy. W
Ludwig you need to get a power inverter from 110v to 220v. Just make sure it can handle the ice cream machines wattage pull. Or have a 220v breaker installed with higher Amp break.
I was looking forward to seeing them use the ice cream machine because I figured they were gonna have Qt make it--I never thought about how much power the machine would require to run 😭 At least the ice cream came out ok
Try using the same outlet as the microwave. They often have a 20 amp circuit, especially the over the stove kind (since the vent + light + microwave can draw like 16 amps combined).
Your kitchen outlets on newer houses should be run with 12 gauge wire which does 20 amps, where standard outlet usually 14 gauge wire at 15 amps. A lot of times the electricians put a 15 amp gfci in your kitchen even tho you could do 20 amp. I’d have someone look at what runs to your kitchen outlets. Used to have a similar ice cream maker in my parent’s restaurant, was on a 20 amp wall outlets worked fine.
Genuinely sat down with some icecream. That machine looks like the froyo types I used at my old job. Also I totally get the measuring issues I ran into the different measurements a few times teaching myself to cook this year. My oven's only in Farenheit so I have a Celcius cheat sheet on my fridge. (I'm in Canada.)
I think this could have been resolved if you plugged it into a socket meant for an appliance like the fridge. Although I don’t know that you have a spare socket like that. Sockets like for the fridge are special sockets ready to take on big power consumers and are also usually isolated on the electrical panel
Electrical Engineer here. There is no issue with the voltage. The issue is the current, or wattage. It’s all 120 volts AC, but it takes a lot more power than a standard outlet can provide. I can’t fault them too much for saying voltage though. They aren’t experts and don’t really understand that terminology.
Poor QT. Not only did she get proven wrong after going on a whole rant, just a few minutes later he was singing about putting a stick in a whole because he has the maturity of a middle schooler.
PSA do NOT feed your cats milk as they are lactose intolerant. They only drink milk from their mom as a kitten, just like any baby would, but will quickly lose that ability to digest it later
@michibeechi Sure not 100% of all cats in the world are, but a high majority of them are. It's always a safer and healthier option to just give them water as their main way of hydration. A quick Google search can tell you that. Also I'm pretty sure humans are the only animals that drink another animal's milk
Interesting. Just made ice cream from half and half, vanilla extract and agave a week and a half ago. For some reason it tastes like Häagen-Dazs' pralines and cream. Also made it how we made ice cream when I was in second grade....with two bags. One bag for the creamy stuff and the larger bag for the ice and salt. Shake for five to ten minutes and voilà.....ice cream. Or I could be a Sim and buy an ice cream maker. Time to go play Sims 3 (puts ice cream away). What was for dinner tonight? A small dinner, nothing extraordinary...just salmon tacos. I prefer eating liquidy stuff or cornish hens which I can turn into soups (liquidy). Maybe I'll have my own chickens to raise to eat one day. Reminds me of the time I wanted to grow beets and make organic blush out of that produce. So many ideas and possibilities. Like the town I live in having a dairy/ice cream drive thru.
I guess it needs 20AMPs or something to work properly ? Though usually the plug would be slightly different, with a right angled prong. What I am seeing, is that it is a normal plug... Weird. Your outlet should be able to power it just fine, if there's nothing else on the circuit taking up any other amps. Especially countertop outlets, which are typically individual ones, exactly to plug in high wattage appliances like a microwave.
