As an electrician I always get a little nervous when I see people post electrical advice. So far a good read, I should have known better when I saw the author.
I find the cord end rule odd. As a licensed electrician I can wire a power plant, but I cant replace a cord end? Some are UL listed too. Strange grey area. One safety inspectors have a hard on for too.
Quoted from vid1900:I'm glad to hear someone is checking me for BS.
I once asked the "friendliest" inspector in the county why he always flagged replacement plugs.
He said he could not be certain "what I did inside the plug" and that "I could have wired it wrong".
I did not tell him that I replaced cords all the time, and he certainly could not tell what I did inside the cabinet.
I mean, no one has ever wired a cabinet wrong, right?
Does that same inspector check every receptacle? Make you open every panel? I just don't get it. I've seen electrical inspectors sign off on major retail buildings with not much more than a handshake. Yes, there was an established relationship. Anyway, way off topic. Keep the posts coming, I love the guides.
