ECN Forum Forums Photo Discussion Forums Photos for General Discussion Violation Photos

I recently was asked to do some wiring for a remodel and was subsequently asked to see why an outlet in the garage was burning up equipment. The homeowner said that his a friend, "an electrician installed a grounded outlet in the garage" and a few months later they lost a saw and a radio. Notice the ground wire attached to the metallic box which is not grounded and the white wire terminated opposite the ground terminal. The picture of the pie tin reflector is from the same garage. It was removed after advising the homeowner of potential hazards. Hope you can use the photos for your violations forum.

Thanks for the Forum,
