Amazing what you can do with Copper?

[Pierre Belarge]

I agree with Paul. If this switch is installed as a switch and does not require fusing, it is still a direct violation of 110.3(B). This switch is not listed to have copper piping installed in it. We do not know the rating of the copper piping and how it will react to any kind of fault situation/withstand rating.
Good call Paul and I am glad you are teaching your men the correct way to install electrical apparatus.

The safety part of this is we have NO idea what is ahead of it or beyond it....so without any knoweldge of that it is a wrongful installation.

But again....thats just my opinion of it....

Thats why I said it should be tagged. There was available many years ago dummy fuses for just this same thing .
But at two am in the morning and the line has to start at 600 am lots of strange things are done .
