Hi Jeff, have been binge watching your videos and just want to say how much I appreciate the information you have provided. I am now resolved to not do any “MacGyver” electrical installs on my boat but to get a professional in. Thanks to your videos, I now feel more confident to ask that installer the “right” questions. All the best.

Jeff, do you discuss using dielectric grease in any of your videos? There's always such polarized comments and discussion on its use on 12 volt DC circuits of either soaking all connections in it or just applying it on after the connection is made. I'm a believer in the latter. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Is there a link to your article on converting a European boat to NA shore power standards. I understand the basics of wire size and the different frequencies but I’m interested in what you think I would be getting into. Thanks this is a great series.

Jeff you should explain how an alternator producers alternating current to direct current so your audience understands. You explained very well from shore power alternating current to direct current.

Great video! Excellent slides too...you should upload a "world of hurts" slide deck sometime to cover European conversions.

Love your presentation Jeff, but I am not buying into your explanation of the 110v North America vs 220v in Europe because of age! Australia is newer than North America and they have 240v. It must simply have to do with choices made by the Engineers that designed the grid in each country and as you said, the higher the voltage, the least the Amp and cable requirements. I suppose in all countries the main power cables run thousands of volts, and then everything gets converted down to the final voltage.

Ahhh good point about Australia. Anybody else here know the reason between going 120 vs 220 VAC?

@@PacificYachtSystems my suggestion is that we have a strong bond with the English Commonwealth and because it is a younger country then North America, they have kept the same voltage rate than UK!

According to all the youtube and PBS documentary content Ive seen (hence Im an expert) in the early days of electrifying the US higher amperage / lower voltage was chosen to go longer distances. (Goes back to my hole of ignorance)
