Has anyone ever seen a fan blade break like this? It was seen just hanging by a small bit of metal that hadn't snapped. I am very glad no one turned the fan ok before this was noticed. #learnwithlorne #reltekinstallations #reltek #maintenance #ceilingfan #ceilingfans #electrician #electrical #electricalmaintenance #kitimat #kitimatelectrician #electriciansofkitimat

Make sure to seal up holes and access points for insects. This is what I found when I opened a wall next to a panel last week. There was no vapour barrier either, so the wasps made their way into the panel as well. #learnwithlorne #reltekinstallations #reltek #maintenance #electricalmaintenance #electrician #electrcianlife #electricansofinstagram #electricians #kitimat #kitimatelectrician #electriciansofkitimat

Fried ballast anyone? This cooked ballast was the cause of a fault that tripped a lighting circuit. In tracking down the fault, we found other issues, like broken bases and interesting mounting techniques for the ballasts in most of the fixtures. There is no separate compartment for the wiring, so a lot of the wiring to the ballasts were run right over the lamp, cracking the insulation of most of the wires. What interesting lighting repairs and problems have you found?... #learnwithlorne #reltekinstallations #reltek #maintenance #lighting #electrician #electricians #electriciansofinstagram #electricalmaintenance #lightingrepair #lightingmaintenance

I noticed a railing was secured to only drywall at one end and the drywall was disintegrating. I offered to secure it for a client and now it is solid, if not a work of art. My apprentice was asking if we were electrifying the railing now to make it an electrical job. #learnwithlorne #reltekinstallations #reltek #maintenance #kitimatelectrician #kitimat #electricalmaintenance

I found this creative termination yesterday. I try to make sure the terminal is large enough to all the strands under a single wire binding screw. I tried to find the rule requiring it in the Canadian Electrical Code, but cannot find it. If you know it, post it. #learnwithlorne #reltekinstallations #reltek #maintenance # wiring #electrician #electricians #kitimat #kitimatelectrician #electriansofinstagram #electricalmaintenance
