Here’s what I’ve got .
2 identical commercial toasters 1800 watt 120V
These toasters run from 7 AM until 9 PM seven days a week.
A month ago I replaced both cord ends and receptacles. One unit is already showing signs of a burnt neutral on both the male blade and the receptacle slot.
The other appears to be perfectly normal in operation.
Each device is in its own 4” sq box with a dedicated 20 amp circuit.
Any thoughts on why the neutral is failing?
Why isn’t the ungrounded side failing?
Would hard wiring and installing a switch be an option?
Would a twist lock device be better?
Any suggestions appreciated.
