Jarrad Goulding shows burnt prongs and exposed neutral wires in workplace plugs that cause arcing and overheating. Visibly burnt plug tops are immediate red flags that should be removed from service before they start fires.
That is your last warning sign before you have a fire and before you burn the place down. This is why test and taggers have a job, because there's people out there that do do this. Yeah, we've plugged in our active wire. We plugged in our neutral wire. That's all we need to do. Right. Doesn't matter that we've got a plug top on there. We'll just stick the wires in there. It'll make it work. I don't know what to say. That's why we have a testing tag industry right there. Okay, so we've got an earth prong. It's been completely burnt out and pulled out by its wire. And I've had this happen to me. I've literally unplugged a plug that might have been sitting in there for 10 years. And no one's unplugged it. You go to unplug it and the whole thing of it completely pulls out. Actually, it's not even the earth prong. That's a neutral wire. If it was the earth prong, at least it's not actively being used. That's a neutral wire. So that is actively being used. It's got current going through at all times. That's that far away from burning the place down. You know, we're down to our last bit of the wires and you can see it burnt like crazy. That's great. In a bad, bad way. Typical burn marks on the plug top face. Very, very common. See, all the time it's arcing. When we've got the male and the female, it's overheating for whatever reason. It can be a faulty plug top. It can be that there's too much current going through the appliance, but it's creating those burn marks on there that is your last warning sign before you have a fire and before you burn the place down. Big red flag for all of our test and taggers. And straight away, that would be failed and taken out of commission. That's a close call.
