New Disconnect

[thejnicki]

This pic was taking inside a new AC disconnect.. Tkae a look at the wire on the right, notice the corrosion and discoloration.. How would you write up this condition or would you not write it up?

I always write up corroded conductors.

something like:

"copper conductor is corroded. recommend a licensed electrical professional find source of corrosion and repair/replace"

simple...write it up for what it is, recommend repair, and move on.

From the picture it looks like the insulation is melted too. I would certainly write up for a sparky to correct.

Thanks, I appreciate the input.. You guys always solidify things for me..

Screw looks loose and has caused heat build up.

That would be my guess - a loose connection. This should absolutely be called out.

Not only would absolutely write this up, but I would flag it as a fire hazard that should be immediately addressed.
