JUST WANDERING IF THERE ARE ANY OF YOU THAT TRUST YOUR TRACER LIKE I DID? I AM LIKE MOST AND THINK THAT THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST TOOLS ON THE TRUCK AT TIMES. MINE HAS GOTTEN ME THROUGH SOME SITUATIONS THAT MADE ME WONDER HOW I EVER GOT BY WITHOUT IT. BUT TODAY I GOT A TASTE OF JUST HOW WRONG THEY CAN BE TO. I HAD TO RUN A CONDUIT FOR A 60HP, 3Ø 480VAC MOTOR FROM THE MOTOR TO A CLASS 1 J-BOX AND SPLICE TO THE WIRE FROM THE MCC FEED. SOUNDS EASY ENOUGH I THOUGHT TILL I GOT READY TO CUT THE OLD FEED IN THE BOX. NO LABELS ON ANYTHING AND SEVERAL WIRES INSIDE TO CHOOSE FROM SO I GOT OUT MY CIRCUIT TRACER AND PUT IT ON THE FEED IN THE STARTER CAN AND THE TRACER ONLY GAVE SIGNAL ON ONE SET OF CABLES. THANK GOD I AM FIRM ON PROPER PPE AND WAS WEARING IT BECAUSE AS YOU MIGHT GUESS IT WAS A FEED TO ANOTHER MOTOR IN THE BUILDING AND IT FOUND ITS ONLY DESIRE... GROUND! MORAL OF THE STORY I GUESS IS DONT PUT TO MUCH FAITH IN THESE DEVICES, THEY ARE WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD WHEN THEY WORK BUT CAN ALSO BE SO WRONG!!!
