Well here i am , 9am in the basement of a council owned public building , ready for todays mains change to the new
uprated dno service.
at the main building db - all ready to whip out old cut-out tails and connect new swa sub-main from new switchboard.
so i pull main fuses , everything is off , battery light on and i begin.
what could possibly go wrong ????

;-D
 
The meter is missing? :D
 
you had a phone call saying your technicians card was here and you left the job forgetting you disconnected all the power and left the whole place power free haha
 
so power off , emergency light above db good for three hours - i'll be done in 30 mins.
unscrews terminal cover around the main switch and then i see it
blue / grey phase terminal screw head snapped off - felt sick to my boots - i wouldnt be able to get the last phase out.
and you cant get the switch cover off with the power on which is why i didnt see it previously.

and this is a 40 year old bill talisman ( obsolete)
on a sat morning

mission control , this is apollo 13 , we have a problem lol.
