OK, the red leg thing hit 1 of my guys once. He put a dedicated circ/outlet 120V/20A in a store we recently renovated for a water cooler. Cooler didn't work...store ordered a replacement, that didn't work either....3rd cooler smoked as soon as it was plugged in! Took about 30 seconds after I got the call to figure what the ?? was. Wound up paying for 1 cooler.
Les works in the same area as I basically, and yes the HO basements are nightmares. Had one that was 'wired' in orange extension cords & shallow gem boxes!
Also, had a 2 lamp, T12 mag ballast at 277 volt take out a 2000 amp 480 main Cb on Grd Fault; and a week later a 3HP 480 motor take out a 2k main in the adjacent bldg.
