If that's an expulsion-type fuse, anyone standing at that window would get one heck of a show during an overload. :P

Actually, there is a good possibility they'd get more than that. Expulsion cutouts open with a violent bang that could shatter that window!!

Thankfully the OP mentions that the whole set-up is being relocated.

Here at my own palatial dump, I have a 15 or 25 kva CSP pot mounted about 15 feet horizontally from my bedroom window. [Linked Image] I guess I should be thankful that its primary is "only" 4kv.

Oh, for those who don't know, CSP means "Completely Self-Protected", in other words the fuse cutout, lightning arrestor and a secondary breaker are all internally mounted in the pot.


Stupid should be painful.
