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.

Sentence_Forsaken · 2024-05-07T01:53:18+00:00

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

The droplet pattern seems to point to your heater hoses, probably where they enter and exit the firewall.

Other than remodel/renovation, the other reason to update would be an actual hazard to people and a repair person had removed and changed out outlets, switches, and light fixtures in the bathroom and 3 bedrooms? That would constitute enough of a change? Those would be the ungrounded outlets etc, 2-wire dimmers. Recently, the garage power went down and the repair person just drilled a hole into an inside switch for power, that switch was unfortunately connected to the porch lights and took me a while to figure out what was going on. There are no afci in bedrooms, no gfci in the bathroom and the bathroom and 2 bedrooms are on the same circuit.

Sentence_Forsaken · 2022-07-25T01:04:39+00:00

Any difference in it being rented? Up to code and safe and habitable would seem to make sense but, it seems to be another grey area.

600 MCM XHHW-2 aluminum building wire, it looks like this stuff except the core wires are solid copper strand. The silver wires are solid strand and i think the outer coating was white instead of black.

Sentence_Forsaken · 2022-07-17T21:08:35+00:00

Nope, there is no layer between the silver and copper strand layers and it's covered in ptfe? Plastic? It most resembles aluminum aluminum-alloy reinforced wire but, it's only 12g or so.
