Had a service call yesterday morning. Customer stated his well pump and furnace would not work. He told me that he bought the lot and new trailer in 1989. A guy he knew who was an old time coal miner put the service in for him:laughing:



Double tapped load lugs of the breaker with aluminum and copper conductors under each lug with very minimal noalox. :whistling2: Corrosion city.

There was a second disco on the pole for the garage so he double tapped this breaker to feed the trailer and garage disco.

I did replace the disco and install a PVC box to splice the feeders with Polaris taps, but I'm not posting that pic:whistling2:

We are scheduled to go back to change the trailer feeder to 4 wire URD instead of service cable.

Yes it was but copper and aluminum together under the same lug was the culprit.

Are the receptacles back wired? Are they mounted with the grounds up:icon_sad: or down?

Worked since 1989? That's pretty good! I would have expected like 3-5 years.
