what is that black stuff from?

**compressed** · 10-15-2002, 03:37 PM

I think the black stuff is actually melted wire. Am I wrong?

**The Penguin** · 10-26-2002, 12:15 AM

it kinder looks like over heated black duck tape to me

I don`t know how the hell the wire nut melted before the insulation on the wire

**slimwoodie** · 11-17-2002, 09:44 AM

is friction tape ... used by electricians to protect splice tape

I've seen wirenuts melted and not the insulation.. Its from the sparks from the loose connection I guess.......

**Chill** · 11-25-2002, 11:39 AM

The loose connection caused a high resistance at the wirenut, which caused voltage drop across wirenut. This generates heat.

Well said Chill!

Thats what I meant
