I think I've seen some rigid at the orange box before...they're for the service mast.

Maybe. The blue box here only sells plastic service enterances!

I love those things. They look cool lol. I don't have one on my house though.

Speakign of electrical fires, there was a fire in either Providence or Pawtucket that burned down last night. The cause is believed to be cuased by an altered fuse circut board. It was just on the 5PM news.

I hope that doesn't mean someone put pennies behind the fuses.

Pennies behind the fuses? The fuses installed were rated too high for the holders. Apparently one of the occupants in the appartment was continuously blowing fuses and the landlord installed a fuse rated way higher than the max and it ended up melting the wire and burning down the appartment.

I checked and the fire was in a very bad section of Providence (Olneyville to be exact). Luckily everyone got out in time.

That's just as bad as pennies.

Mike · « **Reply #38 on:** November 27, 2011, 09:10:53 PM »

What do pennies do? Do they bypass the fuses?

joe_347V · « **Reply #39 on:** November 27, 2011, 09:17:55 PM »

Yeah that's basically what it does.

Mike · « **Reply #40 on:** November 27, 2011, 09:34:54 PM »

That's just askign for the house to go up in flames!

joe_347V · « **Reply #41 on:** November 27, 2011, 09:57:20 PM »

Yeah it's basically like connecting stuff directly to the service panel.

Mike · « **Reply #42 on:** November 27, 2011, 10:22:11 PM »

There's way too many people out there who don't know the slightest thing when it comes to electrical work.

I don't know much of anything behind the breaker panel, power lines, etc. I know more about basic connections and lighting connections.

Some of the wiring job in some stores are scary.

Especially in those antique shops and thrift stores.
