Electrical Training Video with Paul Abernathy

[Billy Boerner]

Ben when do you predict the release of Paul A's training video?

[Ben J. Gromicko]

Should be before the July 4th holiday.

The electrical panel in the training video is the same one in the Inspector Challenge Game. The game is fun. Free. And you get all the time in the world to study an electrical panel filled with common defects.

After going over the panel (learning to recognize common electrical defects and concerns) you can take a quick test - to see how well you spotted the problems.

It is one of the most UNIQUE learning experiences you'll ever find.

There's nothing like it. Try it out.

We'll be giving out prizes for those who rank at the top.

What's wrong here? It's part of the game.

-- Two neutrals tied under one screw.

-- One neutral missing jacket unless thats a ground wire (top wire). If so then the ground should be tied into the ground bar, however from what I understand you can tie grounds on the neutral bar. If the two are seperated they need to be bonded together.

One defect here is actually blatant. Should be screaming out at you'ns.

One of those double tap neutrals has insulation under the lug.

That AFCI breaker is missing a wire.

What are they?


This is part of the Electrical Panel Game. Try it out. Free. Online.

And proper bonding. I saw a thread the other day but can't find it today??

[Patrick Bolliger]

If volts jolts and mills kills does this mean pills fix chills.

How many coulombs per second are there in one amp?
