AP/HV duties, got called to isolate a leg of a HV ring to allow contractors to install a new 11KV sub station.
Identified and isolated, the cable that needed spiking agreed with Contractors that I Had the correct cable, fitted spiking gun all ready, along came Mr Spotty from HQ, contractor looked at I looked at him, no words were exchanged, the look was all that was needed.
The ensuing argument forced me to cancel the Permit, transfer AP duties to Mr Spotty, who refitted the spike to the live cable, this caused me to hide behind the pile of spoil from the trench, furtive looks of uncertainty followed as I took my contractors with me, to take cover, matey pulled the land yard, which drove the cold chisel in the spike into 11KV, silence apart from the initial short circuit noise, and silence as the fault tripped the OCB at the intake sub, can't explain what occurred nest as we were all locked un a room for the debrief, I was exonerated, Mr Spotty got the biggest cussing of his life AP ticket revoked, a quick change of underwear on my part, new day tomorrow.
