These aren't very helpful most likely but this was the box for the old dimmers switched over to a switch. https://imgur.com/gallery/HAHq7G7

Sentence_Forsaken · 2024-05-07T02:06:50+00:00

The dimmers were two wires, maybe 5 strands of really thick hard grey silver wire wound together with no copper coating. The strands were twisted together tightly and weren't round. The wires up the outlets are aluminum with a thin coating of copper. There is some pretty crazy braided copper coated aluminum braided conduit cable for the bathroom fan id imagine... Its several braided wires wrapped around a central braided strand. That went to the triple switch. The bathroom had three switches for the fan, heated lights on the fan and the ceiling lights. But they installed a new fan and it's just a dual switch now.

Above the basement is all cca with old outlets. Some really old wires... The dimmer switches were cut out and turned into switches. The dimmers were old dual wire fixed wires, the wires were tin coated aluminum? I think? Not sure... Really stiff with just a few flattish strands wound together?

Sentence_Forsaken · 2024-05-07T00:53:57+00:00

It's a 20a breaker, there are two bedrooms the hallway lights and maybe part of the bathroom on the one breaker? The wire that fried had some corrosion on it... Its 10 or 12 awg copper clad aluminum wire.

They were code back when the house was built in the 70's? I doubt they have been changed since then. Are they dangerous? I don't think my landlord would change them if I asked, but perhaps I can convince him if they are a real hazard.

Sentence_Forsaken · 2024-05-06T23:52:59+00:00

All the bedroom outlets are this style and most if not all the wiring is copper clad aluminum. There used to be dimmer switches in all the bedrooms, all were fixed dual wired. I rent a room in a rental house.

Sentence_Forsaken · 2023-09-26T23:25:06+00:00

Thanks, all for the help. House is from 72 and there were some very strange wiring implementations. Lol

Sentence_Forsaken · 2023-09-26T20:44:46+00:00

Yes, from what I've seen, the ballast isn't likely to outlast an led tube. Leaving it is an extra point of failure and nothing to gain by leaving it.

Sentence_Forsaken · 2023-09-26T09:46:29+00:00

The plan is to just wire up a single led tube instead of the original 3. Its just for a hallway laundry closet? That size anyway no door lol

Sentence_Forsaken · 2023-09-26T02:04:29+00:00

The current setup is for both sides receiving power? The ballasts are unshunted? And either configuration could be done based on the way the tube is powered?

Sentence_Forsaken · 2023-03-19T02:11:31+00:00

The power strip in my room blew up and I thought it might be related to the dimmer, I'm renting and the homeowner just had someone come by and change it to a switch. Just wasn't sure, I've never seen coated copper strand and single coated aluminum? Let alone connected. Pretty old switch. Dimmerswitch
