when I was stripping my old w/shop out (wasn't leaving it all for the demo gangs - wasn't in the sale contract

) I'd thrown the breaker on one of the main feeds, at the incomer, to a dis. board I was about to disconnect/dismantle ... had been installed by a leccy I
used to use, who originally wired a lot of the shop (and who's work I'd gotten fed up of having to replace myself) and had given up using
mate who was with me said "
are you sure you've switched the right dis. board ?" "
yeh yeh .. 's marked up on the breaker - dis. #3 and I've already disconnected all the outgoing spurs " and nonchalantly dropped my favourite leccy driver across two bus bars -- and promptly blew the end clean off the driver in a shower of sparks and an impressive flash (440V)



... Pri*k'd only marked all the breakers up the wrong way round


wouldn't have gotten up from that one -- threw the main incomer's 100A breakers after that - regardless

... always treated 3ph with the utmost respect and usually slung a meter across anything i was gonna work on first
