Other than the molten copper moneyshot and his unplanned departure from the ladder he is fine. The wire cutters were not so lucky...

For measuring resistive loads on AC circuits, you have to use the root mean square of the AC voltage. So it would actually be about 1697 W ( (120 VAC / √2) * 20 A ) of power.

One of the benefits of single phase 120V is the neutral wire is a ground so a short has a pretty happy path to ground if you just yolo it. An noncommittal pecking at individual wires stands to do you worse. An intrepid wire stealer will quickly get comfortable adding new terminations for his unplanned disassembly of some buildings copper supply until an unfortunate graduation to 240V or 3 phase set ups which do not ground so gently.

The 120 Vac in American systems already is rms. Peak value is around 169 V. For that matter, AC voltage in power systems is typically specified that way, is it not?

quote:I unload oil trains at a refinery. Union Pacific is the railroad that delivers our oil trains to us. Our railyard have pipe valves, hoses, and drip pans at every spot, each a railcars length apart. UP is supposed to line the tank cars up correctly so they match the pipe valves and drip pans.. They didn't this morning. They spotted one of our trains so inaccurately that I had to drag the drip pans a hundred miles from beneath the wheel trucks to beneath the center of the railcar. But if the drip pans were that far off, that means the pipe valves were too. They were so inaccurate that the hoses wouldn't reach, so I had to haul three spare hoses all the way from the storage closet to the far end of the tracks. That took 45 minutes. Uh, thanks, but I wish you would annoy Uncle Pete every time.

TotalLossBrain posted:The 120 Vac in American systems already is rms. Peak value is around 169 V. Confusing but convenient I guess since nominal voltage is more useful to the layman. That said, AC is really loving weird when my general understanding of electricity and circuits up until undergrad is DC and analogous to the flow of water. My mind was blown when we covered AC during the introductory EE class.
