I was just wondering, For those that have done any work with streetlighting, Is it common to omit fuses in each fixture or for the entire circuit?
Today we had one of our guys replace the photoeye on a fixture in the city and had its innards "vaporize" on him, not to mention it wiped out the photocell socket.. ( I can get pictures of the socket and possibly whats left of the eye if anyone wants to see it)....

Noticed its quite common for streetlights to be connected right up to the street buss with no fuses whatsoever... I was just wondering if thats common everywhere or is this PoCo being cheap and dangerous?
