I'm hoping I'm wrong, but that definitely looks like an exterior wall
Exterior of a popular hotel.
I'm baffled how anyone could possibly have thought that was a good idea.
Somebody learned a very painful truth here.
Mood.
Burnout is great.
Where's my TEST/RESET button?
This could be an art installation.
And it's a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) outlet.
Factory defect or electrician defect?
You kinda still need to protect them from the elements, they’re supposed to be covered to prevent water and dust egress.
Yeah I was going to say, most common sense building codes require external outlets to have protective covers. Leaving it wide open like this is just asking for trouble.
Covered car parks usually have some allowances, but as seen, it’ll still rust from the humidity regardless.
I'm thinking this one is a user error.
The user is one with the wall now
GFCI doesn't protect against arcs, so AFCI would be necessary to protect against arcing causing fires.
The danger with outdoor outlets is short circuiting (like when water drips onto a live wire), so GFCI is almost always required of outdoor outlets. Generally, outdoor outlets also require covers that keep the receptacle dry, at least when not in use (and more modern code generally requires it have an "in-use" cover that can stay on even when something is plugged in).
But having GFCI isn't the same as AFCI, so arc fires can still theoretically happen.
I don’t think those outlets belong outside.
Something still seems weird. Why would the cover and wall be so very sooty / charred, while the actual outlet material is relatively unscathed? Sure there are some streaks/marks, but it's basically clean compared to the completely charred cover.
I'm guessing something was plugged in the bottom one that caused the fire.
It was Mehdi again...
