  • The stuff to wire your home – electrical outlets, switches, boxes and wire

    This show discusses the various electrical devices, boxes and wire that you may use or find in your home. Unless you work with this stuff often, you may not realize the variety of devices that are out there. We also look at box fill calculations, which indicate the minimum size of boxes.

    Here is a pretty good explanation (1/2 way down page) on how to calculate box size:http://www.hubbellcatalog.com/raco/RACO_boxes.asp?FAM=R..
    Another example: http://ecmweb.com/code-basics/box-fill-calculations

  • Disney’s Main Street Electrical Parade – 25 MINUTE FULL HD VERSION from the Front Row!

    I’ve got over 700 videos on the internet, this one is for my daughters. This is Disney Main Street Electrical Parade – I recorded it with a monopod using a Canon HG10 on “snow” setting. I was wearing a little “strobe” thing around my neck to get the characters to notice me filming and wave at the camera. It worked on a couple of them, Goofy, Minnie, Mickey, Cinderella, Fairy Godmother, etc.

    If you have kids, pop this on, my daughters absolutely love this parade and the video, they go nuts when they see it!

    Sorry about the long intro, I wanted to capture the entire experience from beginning to end, and didn’t want to edit anything out or crop anything. Consider it “building the anticipation” LOL

    Enjoy!

  • Solving Electrical Problems Acura Vigor -EricTheCarGuy

    **Please note that I replaced the fuse before I started shooting the video. In other words the fuse is new so it wasn’t an issue with the fuse itself.

    While replacing the blower motor in my 1993 Acura Vigor I disconnected some things I didn’t need to disconnect. While putting everything back together I accidentally switched a couple of connectors. This created some problems as you might imagine. This video shows how I diagnosed and solved those problems. The principals applied can be used with many electrical problems you might encounter. Remember, the wiring diagram is your best friend when it comes to electrical problems so be sure to find the most accurate diagrams you can. Personally, I think the service manual has the best diagrams and that’s what I recommend you look for when looking for wiring diagrams.
