Had a good chuckle this morning. I had a couple of my guys at a shopping center that we are doing, checking out a wall pack that wasnt coming on.
I was leaving another job headed that way when my guy called me and said "I just took the joint loose on the wall pack and and we lost power at the job".
I said "WHAT"? He replied "I swear, the second i busted the joint, the whole place (7 stores under construction) shut off. And now I got ten subs raising h*ll at me to turn it back on".
I assured him that taking a 20A joint loose didnt shut down a 15,000 sqft shopping center with 2000A 3ph feed.
I pulled up and could see my guy was stressed. I called dispatch at the POCO and they told me they were swapping primaries down the line and it should be back up within a few minutes.
I should have messed with the guy and told him he just started a rolling blackout but he had been through enough. The look on his face was priceless.
