I’d have to agree with Mario on this one, because I feel that it would be beneficial to more HI’s seeing these Masters show us how it is properly done and believe if it were an older dwelling with plenty of problems, we would all learn more from that.
We all know about AFCI’s and GFCI’s, but how about a home that dose not have any of this stuff in it? A home upgraded to circuit breakers from fuses, would be nice and a home newly built to show the comparison would also be beneficial I think.
I’d much rather see these two gentlemen go through a residential electrical panel (which contain numerous defects) on video and explain what is actually happening inside the panel.
Could you spend some time discussing the problems with double tapping nuetrals on the nuetral busses, as well as grounds and nuetrals mixed in sub panel busses, along with a little theory on stray current and maybe some inspector injury statistics. Thanks for your efforts.
I am taking notes and will cover your suggestions.
Ben: If I can ride shotgun, we can stop at any commercial property, such as a store or office building, or even a garage and we can do a driveby and look over the exterior and comment accordingly.
If you have access to any property that too would be great, just turn me loose and keep the camera rollng.
Here’s a picture I took in Kansas City, MO last month, for an example.
