As to your question about the 347Y/600 Wye system, you guys in the "Real Great White North" [the one that Bob and Doug are from, plus the one north of Washington, Idaho, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Etc.] are the only North American country with it.

Ah... That's something I was getting curious about too. I have several references to 347V heaters, 347/600V connectors etc. in a U.S. catalog, but hadn't seen any mention of that system in here before.
Any particular reason why Canada adopted it, or has the origin been lost in the mists of time?
Nevin:
Your point about getting bumped when working live is a very valid one. If I do have to do a live changeover, I always insist that the area around where I'm working is kept clear of other people until I'm done.
At the same time, I won't do it if I'm completely alone on a site - Just in case.
