This episode explains how overcurrent creates heat in circuit breakers and why manufacturers recommend turning them off and on about once a year. Regular cycling redistributes oils and springs inside the breaker, preventing parts from sticking and deteriorating.

Without this simple maintenance, older breakers can take longer to trip, increasing the risk of failure. The episode offers a clear, practical overview of the cause and prevention of slow or stuck breakers.

🔌 What Is a Tamper-Resistant Electrical Outlet?

If you've ever seen "TR" on an electrical outlet and wondered what it meant, you're not alone! Luke Strange from Cool Hand Electric is here to explain.

A Tamper-Resistant (TR) outlet looks like a standard outlet, but it includes a built-in safety mechanism designed to protect children and prevent electrical accidents. Inside the outlet are spring-loaded shutters that only open when equal pressure is applied to both slots—like when plugging in an actual electrical cord.

If a child tries to insert a paperclip, toy, or any foreign object into one slot, the shutters stay closed, blocking access to the live electrical parts. This makes TR outlets one of the most effective ways to child-proof your home’s electrical system.

In fact, the National Electrical Code now requires tamper-resistant outlets in most new residential construction, especially in areas accessible to children.

They offer safety without sacrificing function—and they’re affordable, too.
