I've been a Faultsman for a few years now and one thing about them all is this:
  • There is always a guy(Homeowner) at the fault, that knows heaps more about it than what you do!.("I think you'll find" is a phrase I have become used to)
  • Everyone hates the power being turned off.
  • People want to know why 11kV+, makes such a loud BANG when the wires clash.
  • Why do people that have struck a power pole complain so much about the cost of the pole they have snapped off, after they have got out of Hospital?, are they not allowed to have Telephones in the wards?.
  • Why is that everyone wants to help you to replace a DDO fuse, on a 33kV line, even though they have no insulated gloves, or any idea of the consequences if there is a ground fault through the Hot-Stick.
    I mean, having six people on a Hotstick, is just.......

What are your ideas on this?.
