whistle Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 i was sent to a job to remove panel and signaling as the customer had canceled his contract so i turn up at this dance club ( not rave music ) 4 to 10 year old girls learning to dance. there are about 30 girls in the room and a teacher and i am in the corner with the lid off the panel. I pull the fuse out of the fuse spur and cut all the alarm cables then i cut the 2.5mm mains in the panel. shoot i see stars my cutters are in bits and a face full of shrapnell i shout out Fu*k me and all the kids screem and run to the back of the room and the teacher looks at me like its the end of the world. turns out the D*ck head that fitted it ran the feed to the fuse spur into the panel and back out to the spur so when it pulled the fuse it was still live. oh god it was funny looking back ..
breff Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 U should never do that anyway, removing the fuse only isolates the live, cut neutral & earth and u will still trip the whole board! The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)
norman Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 Ouch... And the moral of the story...check twice cut once Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
