    Thank you so much Dave. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering but never been lucky to have a professor to explain so clearly the way you are explaining this topic. I am reviewing all of your videos and relearning everything with clarity and comprehension. Thank you so much for passing your knowledge on to others to learn. Thank you again Dave !!!

    I'm sharing and commenting so this gets more views. Thank you for taking the time to pass on your knowledge.

    Refreshing my memory here, you are one of the best explainer ever. No, flailing arms in the air or bubble head movements or tripping over your own words. Neat drawings and clear numbers and most of all you speak slow enough and clear enough to understand every word. So far, the best I have ever seen on youtube, keep up the great work!
  • @jacobmartin5104
    You explain this so much better than any place I’ve seen or anything I’ve read. Thank you
  • Magnificent explanation. I think a lot of teachers do not fully understand what they are talking about and the students end up being more lost after listening to them.
  • This guy is a fantastic presenter and explains technical details so well 👍
  • @wilassguess
    Best presentation explanation I’ve come across yet. Thank you.
  • @5stringpickin
    Fantastic, clear understandable explanation. You are a great teacher, thank you!
  • Beautiful lesson. I hope you can see this. Please never stop making videos. You are a treasure!!
  • @melittlelad
    I’ve watched this video probably 5 times, come back for a refresher every now and again

    I am glad you pointed out at the end that the value 1.73 is the square root of three. You'd shown the value earlier, but I think it's important to explain that it is used to account for the phase angle difference between current and voltage across phases. You don't need to go in-depth into trigonometry, but sine and cosine functions can help to visualize what's going on. Your phase diagram where you erased all but the two phases and added the dashed line was a good way to show the difference in potential between them. I learned all this about 45 years ago, but watched as a refresher. Well done!
  • I never had the chance to have a formal education, but I was fascinated by electricity and electronics and had to figure this out on my own before there was the internet, much less YouTube videos. I picked up DC in 6th grade and AC theory by 7th grade, but could never find any well written books on 3 phase power or Delta Wye configurations. I am now entering retirement age and despite not having gotten a degree, I did manage to work on some engineering level jobs in my life by just teaching myself. Thank you.

    Thanks for the great videos !! I'm studying for my Canadian Ip exam after not having been in school for almost a decade, all this stuff is a distant memory and you're teachings are so clear and effective!
  • @GuiltyKit
    Been an electrician for many years, and this is probably the most easily digested explanation I've ever seen.
  • @motionsick
    Thanks man your videos were a huge help on a job I did earlier this year. Now I'm learning more about higher voltages. ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️
  • Gordon, you’re an amazing teacher! We miss you at the program.

    I'm 40 and have just started to dulge into this type of work. I can say... from someone with very little knowledge of electricity. You do a very good job of making it as understandable as possible. Thank you.
