At work, sometimes I test components that have come back from the field to see why they failed. I gave the engineers a good laugh today (and everyone else that stopped by to see why the lights flickered and what the smell was) when I hooked up 120VAC to this lighting controller card that requires 24VAC. There was a nice little flame there. :oops:

There may be no further point to this thread, just thought I'd share. I'm going to stay at my desk, nice and safe, for the rest of the afternoon.
