Smart Meter Audible Noise?

Allclear — Sun, 30 Oct 2016 06:49:46 +0000

by: Allclear

Description: Getting Occasional Short Pulses of audible noise from most electronic devices in my home. They last about a second and happen erratically. Sometimes several in a minute and sometime once or twice an hour. Amplitudes vary as well. Hard to capture on a scope, but i managed a few. The pulses seem to be in the 5 Khz range. Trying to figure out what is doing this. Got a scope to check out the waveform. Waveform is L-N

Up to code doesn't mean best practice

ElectricalEd — Sun, 31 Aug 2014 05:23:37 +0000

Description: While having a 3 way switch capped in main breaker panel might be up to code, it is not the best way to do it. Do you agree? I would prefer a junction box be put on side of breaker panel for the splice as a minimum. Making sure it is out of panel reduces unnecessary risk the white wire marker will fall off or be forgotten and the handyman in the panel makes a fatal mistake with the white wire in picture.

THE WORST SPLICE EVER. no kidding

thirtyyearman — Sat, 15 Feb 2014 16:46:56 +0000

by: thirtyyearman

Description: I found this horrifying sight while working for a carpenter friend that was installing a 3rd floor bathroom in a home full of kids, one of which has muscular dystrophy and needed a shower (and fan/light) without a lip or border so she could get a shower without help, getting her legs over a tub or even a small lip was very hard, and asking for help wasn't impossible, its just alot more dignified taking a shower for yourself. I dropped a feed down to the cellar and saw a plastic j-box and would change that, as i never leave shoddy work i find, even when its probably up to code, plastic boxes... anywhere i see them... are changed. They ARE shoddy by MY standard. Using my ticker, i found it was live and opened it. First, i could SMELL melting plastic... then, as the cover was metal, and that may have SAVED this wonderful family, it had molten plastic, like a CANDLE had been dripped on it. Then the wires, as i pulled them out, crumbled their melted insulation like ashes. Some howkey looser family friend added 12 amps, mostly lighting, to the feed about a year ealier, and failed, failed this family mostly, by representing himself as someone that, as the Dad, a lawyer, said ""i know how to do wires"". The kitchen lighting DID look nice, under counter, cans, fan, tracks... the switching all worked, even the three ways worked. ! BUT.... a poor splice ahead of all that pretty lighting, was 50' from its 20 amp square D QO breaker, and that first-rate breaker had NO CHANCE... to trip, allowing 13 total amps by, as it is designed to do.. the HEAT of that piss-poor splice would NEVER travel down the wire to let the breaker know there was a problem. MORAL : Hire a CRAFTSMAN to do your electrical work, ANY fee is worth your childrens, and your own, life. Ang..JOURNEYMAN ELECTRICIAN. ...

Description: When I took this receptacle out, I discovered some issues. The 20a receptacle was live when I found it. The receptacle had been on fire previously and a portion of the bottom receptacle was melted and burned black. I started taking pictures later when I discovered the extent of 'creative wiring' present.
