Inspired by Techno's brilliance with the USB cable, I followed his advice about a power extension ...

WTF

What is he even trying to do? Lucky it's in the US with just 110v

Is that wall plate made of metal ?

You don't have an earth wire in The States, do you ?

Dearie, dearie me.

I've crawled about on some relatively fragile racking, over 500 amp 'buzz-bars'.....Running a cable from one side to the other.

"Am I really allowed to do this ?" I queried my colleagues in the exchange..."This racking isn't particularly strong."

"No.....But you're the lightest by far...Get it done quick before anyone spots you."

Needless to say, I didn't come into contact with the buzz-bars......unlike a screwdriver that allegedly fell between the bars when the exchange was being 'wired up'.
It hit the floor from about 15 feet up, and landed as a hot lump of melted metal and plastic. (Apparently.)

Worked on a job with, amongst others, a sparks who was doing a major rewiring job on a very large building.

It involved working on stuff behind a pair of very large bus bars. We identified the risk and so the power to the bus bars was turned off, the work completed, power restored ... and then the guy realised he'd left a screwdriver behind and without thinking reached between the bus bars to pick it up.

Fortunately I was neither lead Project Manager nor on site at the time and so didn't need to attend the inquest :-(

Be safe people.

[Techno]

Well.....I've learned something today.

I always 'heard' my colleagues referring to them as 'buzz' bars.....But Mike's absolutely right......Bus...Not Buzz.

Cheers - Phil
