Electrical issues? I wonder if McMaster-Carr sells smoke detectors
Author: Joseph Lucas
All electrical components and wiring harnesses depend on proper
circuit functioning, which is the transmission of charged ions by
retention of the visible spectral manifestation known as "smoke".
Smoke is the thing that makes electrical circuits work. Don't be
fooled by scientists and engineers talking about excited electrons
and the like. Smoke is the key to all things electrical
We know this to be true because every time one lets the smoke out of
an electrical circuit, it stops working. This can be verified
repeatedly through empirical testing. For example, if one places a
large copper bar across the terminals of a battery, prodigious
quantities of smoke are liberated and the battery shortly ceases to
function. In addition, if one observes smoke escaping from an
electrical component such as a Lucas voltage regulator, it will also
be observed that the component no longer functions.
The logic is elementary and inescapable!
The function of the wiring harness is to conduct the smoke from one device to another.
When the wiring harness springs a leak and lets all the smoke out of the system, nothing works right afterward.
Starter motors were considered unsuitable for British motorcycles for
some time largely because they regularly released large quantities of
smoke from the electrical system.
It has been reported that Lucas electrical components are possibly
more prone to electrical leakage than their Bosch, Japanese or
American counterparts. Experts point out that this is because Lucas
is British, and all things British leak. British engines leak oil,
British shock absorbers, hydraulic forks, and disk brake systems leak
fluid, British tires leak air and British Intelligence leaks national
defense secrets.
Therefore, it follows that British electrical systems must leak
smoke. Once again, the logic is clear and inescapable.
Sometimes you may miss the component releasing the smoke that makes
your electrical system function correctly, but if you sniff around
you can often find the faulty component by the undeniable and
telltale smoke smell. Sometimes this is a better indicator than
standard electrical tests performed with a volt-ohm meter.
In conclusion, the basic concept of transmission of electrical energy
in the form of smoke provides a clear and logical explanation of the
mysteries of electrical components and why they fail.

We always used the "smoke test" at the power plants I worked at when testing circuits!
That's some funny stuff Karl.

you should see the amount of smoke from a frequency drive that pops the controle power fuse when you replace the fuse an the slim chance smoke will not excape. sofar since the first sumitomo af500s they all leak smoke and sometimes fire. we usually have a grand time hopeing for the best.(though when we do this we have the new one ready to put in going from the past ) lots of fun.
ask a friend frank how much smoke comes out of a 75hp 3PH motor when it is running while washing it down with the firehose to clean it. woho he shit his huggies.
it is fun being a sparkie sometimes.

I was standing 3 ft from a 350hp 460v motor when it went phase to phase. BOOM! Lots of smoke and a piss smell from somewhere nearby....
