Spanish Electrical Installations: 5 Things That May Surprise You

Why do electrical installations in Spain sometimes look so different? And more importantly: why is this actually allowed? In this video, I take you inside the world of Spanish electrical installations and explain some of the things that may surprise you when you first see them. From conduit systems and individual conductors to two-pole circuit breakers, junction boxes, traditional terminal blocks, 25-amp outlets and Spain's contracted power limits – Spanish electrical installations have their own logic and regulations. Some installations may look chaotic at first glance, but there is usually a technical or historical reason behind the way things are done.
