Picture of the week!™

Well this week I was asked to look at a portable appliance.

The customer told me they had tried a new fuse, but this had not worked.

Nice gloves

I can see one stray strand coming from the neutral conductor and waving very close to the earth - I bet that's the problem.

Am I right?

 

[RF Lighting]

You see the melted copper on the live wire?

There's a clue there

 

[Softus]

Was I bit dry for you there, Rob?

 

[Spark123]

What did they use to tighten the screws too?

 

[nozspark]

I'd bet a pound to a penny that plug top didn't have insulated pins either??

 

[Softus]

If they were like one of my previous girlfriends then they used this for tightening screws:

and this for general purpose chiselling:

Yeah I should have known really

I'd bet a pound to a penny that plug top didn't have insulated pins either??

You owe me a quid

 

[nozspark]

Here you go, you can have this on good faith

 

[aptsys]

I just can't comprehend what the person who wired that plug must have been thinking at the time

 

[baldelectrician]

I see the problem.

The cord grip wasn't tightened

Quality speaks volumes.

Well this week I was asked to look at a portable appliance.

The customer told me they had tried a new fuse, but this had not worked.

What did they expect after cutting off the plug? Muppets

 

[ebee]

Was it the fuse was wrong size therefore not letting enough lectrik thru causing device not to work?


Also watch out for knots in flex causing "Lumpy Lectrik " causes havoc

 

[Steve]

The electrons come out dizzy



Rob, was it a female customer? (At risk of being flamed by everyone for this remark)
