Con Ed inspects many thousands of distribution panels, finds a hundred hot - 02/05/04 05:02 AM
In today's Daily News (NYC tabloid) there's an article about Con Ed inspecting many thousands of those ground level distribution panel covers and finding about a hundred with line voltage.
Article says voltages ranging from 50 to 120V.
The lower voltages likely imply leakage currents not enough to light a light bulb but enough to shock someone. Are these covers bonded to ground? Maybe those bonds went bad from salt corrosion?
