CUSTOM SCONCE INSTALLATION On our FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (ELECTRICAL FAQ) page, I talked about the right way and the wrong way to wire a receptacle. I always prefer to wrap the wire around the screws and tighten them down. It lasts much longer then the back stab method that always seems to fail over time and always at the most inconvenient timeā¦. when watching the big game on TV or you have some guests over and power goes out to some receptacles. ON THE TOP Also on our FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (ELECTRICAL FAQ) page, we talked about bootleg grounds. A bootleg ground is when the white neutral wire is also connected to the ground screw simulating a ground. This is a code violation, because the neutral wire carries current; and connecting the ground to the neutral could possibly cause the ground to become live and any appliance that is plugged in could possibly have the frame and all metal parts become live creating a possible shock hazard. ON THE BOTTOM A reverse bootleg ground happens when a person, not knowing what they are doing, connects the black hot wire to the neutral terminal and the ground terminal. This is a code violation causing the ground to become live and any appliance that is plugged in will have the frame and all metal parts become live creating a shock hazard. If you have experienced shocks around any of the receptacles in your home, then they should be evaluated by an electrician.
