Saw this the other day and had to laugh... Incidently, when operating the fan, its blades strike the bathroom cabinets. Image Insert: 268.16 KB

Does anyone here have any good literature (in PDF format, for example) about Zinsco panels? There are lots of published reports about FPE panels available on the web (like at Mike Holt's site) , and I include these in my hard copy reports, however can never seem to find any good info on the web about Zinsco and their hazards. That doesn't mean I don't automatically recommend replacement of Zinsco and FPE breaker panels.

Does anyone here have a good cross reference chart for older furnaces and boilers for manufacture date? I have this info for many of the newer (30 years and newer) name brand furnaces, but very little info about boilers from more than 10 years ago, for example.

Sorry, let me clarify. How do you test non-GFCI protected outlets? I use the good old 3 LED GFCI tester to check for: 1. Power 2. Correct wiring orientation 3. Ground present For 2 prong and 240 Volt receptacles, I use a 240 Volt probe with the LEDs to ensure power and 120/240 Volts at the 240 Volt receptacles.

Here's the FINAL AFCI rule in the 2008 NEC
msteger replied to Joe Tedesco's topic in Electrical Forum
Ditto. Question - How many of you trip AFCI breakers in occupied homes? I read that these should only be tripped in unoccupied homes since when being tripped they send a small surge in the line which can damage things plugged into them. If new homes after 2008 are going to have AFCI in almost every 120V circuit, that should be very interesting.
