Scott35,
Having done Faults work for the local PoCo for the last few years, it's amazing how wound-up people can get when they lose power!. [Linked Image]
I had a whole street in the middle of town go out last year about this time of year and I never got the callout until WELL after the fault occured (on a Friday afternoon, as it was).
I was walking over to the Padmount Transformer to replace the fuses and everyone was outside thier offices, to keep cool(not so I had noticed! [Linked Image]) I have NEVER been looked at so nastily in my life, these people weren't even happy that I was putting the power back on, from the look in some people's eyes, they wanted to throttle me.
The day was as hot as H**l and the fuses blew through over-current with all the A/Con equipment running at full blast.
It's the quickest I've ever replaced 600A fuses!.
