Powdered Wire Anyone?

What happens is the electricity arcs through the hole in the insulation to the ground. Add some moisture and dirt then you have a good recipe for some quality corrosion. The arcing slowly eats away at the aluminum and finally the wire corrodes enough to turn it to this nice white powder.

_{Don’t mistake this white powder for something else}

Now check this out!! Look at how it bulged out the insulation and turned that small knick in the insulation a huge hole.

Here is one from farther away so hopefully you can see the size difference.

Now, just an inch away the wire is perfectly fine.

So would you like some Powdered Wire??

Until Next time...
