Phillip Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Friday I was doing a prelisting inspection on a realtor's home. when I got to the exterior AC unit there was two wires coming out of the disconnect. The fuse is on the neural wire The Realtor told me there was a light switch next to the window where one of the wire when into the house that turn the light on the tree in the rear yard. See photos in lower post. The house was inspected when she bought it a few years back and the light was already there. The inspector is one of the ones that been in the business a long time here. I am not getting my photo to upload. I haven't change anything that I know of. Help please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Petey Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Sounds extremely wrong to me. Extremely unsafe as well. Sorry, I can't help you with the pic, although it would be good to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian G Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I've seen stuff double-lugged on AC disconnects a number of times (usually outlets). Those lugs aren't design or approved for that, and the big difference in wire sizes will only make trouble more likely. The fused neutral is an oddity though... It ain't right. Brian G.

Follow a Moron and You'll Look Like a Genius [:-graduat I find it a lot also. It is a shame that the inspector that did the house when the owner bought it did not write it up. Now she is have to pay for having it took out. Brain, the name of the company is almost the same as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
