..... The heating caused by the flow of electricity ....
Gee, I wondered how my toaster worked!
What we have is some guy deliberately mucking things up, taking pretty pictures, mixing scare tactics into his speach ... then saying 'buy my product.'
It seems like only yesterday the 'vast majority' of fires, we were told, were due to arcing connections- so we needed to start using a newly invented gizmo to solve the problem.
I'm not buying it. Plus, after the whole AFCI bait & switch, I'm not about to let a slaes campaign suddenly sneak itself into the code .... even if it's 'for the children.' Call me jaded.
Do bad things happen? Of course they do. We already have 'rules' that address workmanship, and 'standards' that address reasonable design criteria. Deliberately making something fail does not prove that the 'something' was faulty.
If a rule is being violated, we fix that violation by enforcing the rule- not by adding another rule or gadget to the mix.
