  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.

  Where's my TEST/RESET button?

  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.

    I’m thinking this one is a user error.

    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).

    I do t think those outlets belong outside.

  This could be an art installation.

  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.
