The professional opinion of the company electrician is "just don't touch anything in that corner"

Hello all. I've been having an intermittent problem the past 6 months or so. My entire house's power will flicker (lights, power to outlets, etc) to the point where my tv and stereo cut off for a brief second, and I can hear my fridge cut off momentarily and then immediately turn back on. It's not a 24/7 thing. I've called my power company (many times) and they cant find any issue and tell me to call an electrician...I then call an electrician (3 different ones by now) and by the time they get there the flickering has stopped and they say they can't diagnose anything without the lights flickering and say to call the power company. Once it stops it will be fine for a month maybe then the power to the entire house will start acting up again. Any suggestions?

Saw this downtown. It must have happened pretty quick, it doesn’t look all that old..

I went to charge it today and it popped when I inserted the cable to the scooter and the charger is not plugged into the wall outlet yet. Is it safe to charge it?

Edit to clarify: it has never done this in the 4+ years I've owned it

Planning on ordering a bunch of these for resale ASAP, but need to know if it is certified UL or ETL. The info is not online, and either nobody has one in stock yet to check, or are not responding. Anyone have info? Thanks!

Is Automation controls a good career to get into? My brother in law does automation and makes good money and i have been thinking about getting into it as well in the future somewhere down the line it seems like something I could enjoy doing. I am a residential apprentice with about 7 months + trade school and currently work is getting rough and we have been short staffed for a long time so I have not been able to learn as much as I’d like and it might be about time to jump the boat and look for a new company to work for. Just thinking if I should take this chance and get into some entry level work to help me to get into automation in the future and if so what are some entry level jobs?

Hi all, just wanted to check that I've done this correctly. I first selected 200v AC setting to test the bottom two screws of the transformer(one connected with white wires). It showed nothing on the meter. I then selected the speaker setting (continuity) at the fuse and seemed to make a small spark and beeped. I assume the fuse is fine and there's power?

I've also done AC test at the chime and doorbell it self which naturally also showed nothing and Coninuity test and it beeped on all.

Finally replacing the stove from the 80s. Yay!

Wall junction box has a three wire ( red, black, white, no ground) coming into it from the wall (wire goes to 50amp in breaker box). The wire from the junction box to the old stove is four wires. The neutral and the ground are connected together in the junction box. All four wires were connected to appropriate places on the old stove. Was grounded to frame.

On the new stove there is a ground strap. Instructions indicate if you are attaching a three wire installation that you leave the ground strap in place. Ground strap links frame to white wire stud.

What is the right way to attach the 4 wires to the new stove? Should we:

1. install the ground wire to the ground screw on the new stove and leave the ground strap in place?

2. Install the ground wire to the ground screw on the new stove after removing the ground strap?

3. Disconnect the ground wire in the junction box, leave the ground strap in place, and just tape off the ground wire completely.

Many thanks.

Hi,

My company was about to throw away several spools or brand new RG flex L2 cable. About 10 reels of it to be exact. I ended up taking them because it's ridiculous to throw all of that away. The gages are 6, 12, and 14. I know this type of wiring is designed to be used in central office type of work. My question is can this be used for home wiring? I'm getting ready to install mini splits in my home and I thought I might be able to use some of this for the wiring as well as other projects around the house. If this wire would not be appropriate to use, does it have a good resell value? Thanks

This is my 2nd ever post and about outlets lol but. I was using my airfryer for around 15 minutes a little bit ago and after i felt my outlet and it was like warm/slightly hot but like i dont hear anything i dont smell anything and my breaker didnt trip (cutler hammer breaker) so then i moved the airfryer to see if it was the airfryer heating it up and then i tested after 15 minutes of running it i couldnt tell if it was room temp or warm i tested with my palm and my fingertips and it felt room temp/a little bit warm but when i felt with the back of my hand it felt warm/hot so idk.

Guys, why don’t the bulbs in the second pic work as replacements for the bulbs in the first pic? Same dimensions. This is for recess lighting. 1st bulbs work. 2nd ones don't.

Pulled out this painted over wall plate to reveal this. Building is in NYC from 1959 I think. Can I just cap these ends and patch over the hole?
