One of the inspectors in the county south of us came up with this beauty.

480v tap using an innovative method but at least he got the colors right.

Yup that is like a KupLTap.
The problem is they don't have one that taps a 600MCM with a #14 I guess.

How about this scene...
Load of this made up, ring terminal made up, screw in ring, and a screw gun.

I suppose turning off the power first would be out of the question. wink

Seems to be common practice... I've seen a very similar picture from Germany.

I'm imagining a $2.99 orange store 4-in-1 screwdriver wrapped up in a roll of 99¢ tape. crazy


Is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

At first glance I'm thinking power theft. This wasn't a pf correcting capacitor for a huge motor was it?
