Electrical Burning

CAWORK · 24 Feb 2006

I have noticed on several overheated/burntout electrical fittings that the neutral is where it has often occured on (but not always of course).

Is this probably coincidence or is there something in what I have seen?

(Some electrical installation lecturers have said 'it often goes for the neutral' but that doesnt of course make them right.)

Most likely cause is the terminal screw was looser on the neutral.
