    Receptacle Fires: Fault Identification

    The wall receptacle is often blamed first when a wall burns. This course shows how to tell a receptacle that failed from one that was only exposed to the fire.

    You will learn:

    - How a receptacle is built and installed: side screws, back-stab and back-wire connections, the box, and the ground path.
    - The six signatures: loose screws and glowing connections, failed back-stabs, worn contacts, contact creep under load, aluminum wiring junctions, and vintage or counterfeit devices.
    - How arc mapping and the microscope support your reading.
    - How to examine burned receptacles in a 3D examination lab.
    - The examination protocol and the limits of your opinion.
