Re: ground falt
I don't know about your PSU, if I were you I would test it on a throw away old computer. Call GE and see what they have to say about this. Obviously it's a defective power strip, if they can't do anything for ya, talk to a lawyer and prove that your PSU works fine but you could have been seriously injured or killed from the defective power strip.Comment

Re: ground falt
did that and a mobo powerd up no problem and i don't want to sue dont have the monnyComment

Re: ground falt
one more thing how did you test to see if the hot was reversed?
The hot could test neutral if it's damaged, the only way is from hot to ground and neutral to ground, one will read 120 and other 0.
Glad that PSU works, call GE see if they will replace the strip.Comment

Glad I could help. Seeing those scorch marks reminds of a close call I had when I was working as electrician apprentice.Last edited by Mad_Professor; 04-03-2011, 09:22 PM.Comment

Re: ground falt
That breaker panel IS a liability. Zinsco/Zinsco by Sylvania lost their UL listing years ago. The panel is about 40 years old and has same problems as Federal Pacific. Breakers don't trip, known to fall out of panel, and ALUMINUM bus bars.
This link is no joke:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMV1jmDn3o4
I've seen this in the field in both FPE and Zinsco's. If one of these breakers jams (or jammed intentionally), it will never trip.
As far as polarity of outlets is concerned - here's something to help you remember: Short slot is hot. Neutral is the slightly longer than the hot.Stupidity should be a crime, especially for drivers. I have NO patience for them.Comment

Re: ground falt
skystormsfarms - GE is actually one of the better panels. As an electrician, I've installed more than I care to count. Never had a bus failure or main breaker failure. They carry a lifetime warranty on the panel and breakers, full copper bus (it's coated with a silver-colored compound). I've seen some of their older panels (over 30 years) with no problems to be found.
FWIW, Cutler Hammer CH-series also has the lifetime warranty but their BR-series is only 10-years. Square-D is unclear on their warranty.Stupidity should be a crime, especially for drivers. I have NO patience for them.Comment

Re: ground falt
Skystormfarms, look at the third picture in your first post. Multi-color handles in a single line is the trademark design of Zinsco. Also, the breakers are 1-inch thick with 2 handles, with or without a handle tie (two single pole breakers for 2 120-volt circuit or a 2-pole breaker for a 240 volt circuit).
GE uses all black handles, 1-inch or 1/2-inch breakers. Bryant used to make breakers with colored handles that fit GE's and vice-versa but doing so voided UL listing of the panel and also voided the warranty. A GE breaker will trip faster than a Zinsco almost to the nuisance level of tripping (regardless of age).Stupidity should be a crime, especially for drivers. I have NO patience for them.Comment

Re: ground falt
The "GE" I was referring to was the power strip not the load center.
edit: then reading up I see he replied with a zinsco panel.
Looks like they are working if they tripped but still I think you should have the panel inspected by a licensed electrician to ensure proper functionality.Last edited by Mad_Professor; 04-06-2011, 06:19 PM.Comment

Hi, Would appreciate some help.
I have an Apple Late 2013 15" A1398 MacBook Pro with Logic Board 820-3662.
Get charger light but no fan spin or chime. No liquid damage.
Found PPBUS and VCORE both shorted to ground. Other rails were ok.
Removed VCORE MOSFETS U7310, U7320 and U7330. Found U7330 was in fact shorted.
With the 3 MOSFETS removed, get PPBUS and fan spin. VCORE is still hard shorted to ground (0 ohms).
Attempted voltage insertion on VCORE to locate short using bench supply set at 1.0 VDC and 4.95 Amps (max current for my... -

Someone brought me a Dell laptop that had a loose power jack inside (power jack on a cable, not soldered to motherboard). Once disassembled found one of the wires was broken off the power jack. I replaced the jack and it won't turn on, but the metal shell of the jack inadvertently touched the metal hinge and suddenly it got power. I checked voltage from the metal chassis ground and the circuit ground and I get over 14V ? Has anyone seen this before? Typically is it some kind of filter cap that shorted? Very strange... -
Hello everyone, I have a 645 G9 here with a Ryzen 5 PRO 5675U.
This board has a blown inductor component above the driver chip to the CPU coil, and I am wondering whether the CPU is shorted/dead.
Could anyone please measure the resistance to ground on the leftmost coil/inductor to the CPU?
My resistance value is 2.2 Ohms, which doesn't look good to me.
Thanks to everyone willing to give a value. -
hello everyone , working zebronics power suply 450 watts , 5v ,3.3v givin short to ground black wire, also in circuit at output, resistor was charred but shows right values , after removing resistors 39ohms, 51 ohms, there was no short , no continuity beeps with ground , but after replacing new resistors (now i am not switching it on) ,again short still exists . when i put bigger ohm resistor like 100k ohm , no short beeping sound comes , lower ohm resistor gives continuity beeps ,other big ones donest , as its a working psu , i am confused what to remove now or how to go further now .
