r/electricians

I always get a wild look from other electricians when I pull this out.

It’s probably helped me test and troubleshoot as many control circuits as my fluke has. I wonder if anyone else keeps something similar with their meter.

Is my whole home surge protector working properly?

Should there be green lights illuminated or is this active as is? Thanks!

So I chopped my finger off Monday night. Luckily not an important finger but still going to suck to work with.

Called out to a "no power in garage" call. This is what I get to troubleshoot. This thing looks industrial!

Every switch in the house is the antique push buttons.

Getting screwed.

Did an apartment building a while back and had this happen in five or so units. The electrical panel is pretty much in the same spot, same wall in each unit and so is the bathroom on the other side of that wall. They installed towel bars in the bathrooms and sent long screws to hold them up…. Right through the backs of the panels. Happen to snap this pic of one instance, got lucky on this one.

What’s everyone working on today?

Curious to see what are your top items to bring with you on job sites besides your usual tools. Mine is this perfectly sized chair.

Associations?

You guys that operate your own business, do you belong to any organizations like a homebuilders association or anything like that and does it work for connecting and drumming up business? Co-op with realtors or something?
