More Switches/Receptacles

In the back of the same room, a receptacle had disintegrated (a worker had shown me). The bottom receptacle had fallen apart, and the top had a blade stuck in the neutral, ripped off of who-knows-what.


Shown with Fluke pocket voltage tester.

Further examination shows the switch above this for the lamps in the old shower room were as old as the broken ones from yesterday, I'd decided to replace the remaining two in the area.

First, as always, LOCKOUT TAGOUT (LOTO).
With description, location, name, date, phone number in ink.




Cover removed, quite nasty. No ground.

Cover removed, top had the blade stuck in the neutral (left).

Rewired, grounded, taped for safety.

Done. Used the correct size cover, too. Previous was too small.

Done. 


Done.

Again, not the most challenging thing...but very important when it comes to protecting life and property.

Done and tested by 9:30. Time for my 9:00 break!
