Drill leaks electricity to case
"Ignoramus3408" wrote in message ... I have this Black and Decker 450 RPM drill: http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/450-rpm-drill.jpg When plugged into a GFCI outlet, it leaks electricity to ground and pops the GFCI breaker. The leak is substantial, I believe, however when plugged into a regular breaker (and handled with caution appropriate for leaks to case), it actually works and does not blow the breaker. So, I think, the leak is limited in extent. You need to fix that leak. There's only so much electricity in those drills, and if it all leaks out, it won't run any more. LLoyd |

LLoyd That's really a common misconception. Electronics, and anything else electrical actually work on smoke. We know this to be true, cause once you let all the smoke out, they stop working. |

I agree! I can't think of even one time when the smoke got out that the tool in question still worked. Harold |

I think maybe the color of the smoke is the key. Certain kinds/colors of smoke are more important than others ;-) -- Leon Fisk Grand Rapids MI/Zone 5b Remove no.spam for email |
