"Opening a can of worms" Who is Responsible for a problem if you where the last one to touch it, but did not cause the problem? I was doing work for someone, installing an appliance and warned then of a potential problem with GFCI or ground fault interupt circuit being tripped. I asked if he had the outlet on that type of circuit but he was certain that he did not. I looked around the basement to be sure. I did not find a GFCI. 3 Seconds after turning on the appliance the power goes out!!! We check the breakers, look for a tripped circuit, check all the wires, the basement, the house, the machines on the circuit. I asked if he had a plan for the layout of his electrical system, but her did not.
The machine I was installing, can not hurt a normal system, or damage the electrical system but Will trip a GFCI outlet. We could not find it but I knew thats what it was.
He Had a freezer, and lights on the same circuit and wanted me to pay for an electrician to solve the proble
