BY
OVERHEATING
Overheating caused by MARGINAL tension of contacts and wipers. I appeared in Superior Court county of Los Angeles in the winter of 1990 as an expert witness. An insurance company was trying to sleaze out of payment claim for a total loss. Problem was I had inspected the rig and receptacles (2-year old) and told the owner to get them the hell out of his rig and replace them. He didn't and the rig burned to the ground in Palm Desert, CA. Be attempted to heat his rig with electric heaters. Defense claim: Old heater. Plaintiff counter-claim. Receipt from Home Depot showing 2 heater were purchased by plaintiff 15 days before the fire.
The Insurance Company to my knowledge is not affiliated with this site.
A real PITA measured against $576.00 paid for my testimony.

Amazing how some folks treat their health and well being in regard to misinterpretation of specifications. Probably a mere couple of members here can accurately describe the differences in receptacles "Contractor - Specification - Industrial - Federal - Hospital"
If you do not know the differences in receptacles I fail to see how you can judge why they exist and when not to use one or more.
