I smelled something burning during an inspsection today. It was kind of a combination of rubber and compost. Then I realized I was accidentally thinking again.
Regarding AL wiring and the outrageous cost to electricians for the cost of the Copalum Crimp equipment. (I'm assuming the electricians are telling me the truth.) And I was thinking about how many homes still need to be updated. It was thinking of two things at once that started the fire, I suppose.
Anyway, for you electricians and others: Is there the possibility that ARC fault breakers could be a reasonable answer to the aluminum arc risk? Obviously, they would have to be available in more than 15 and 20A sizes. This guy hints at it, but doesn't commit.
