Wiring gone wrong
This service fused disconnect needed a re-wire. Three wires under one screw termination, the white normally neutral wire on a hot leg and a designated current carrying wire on the grounded conductor terminal.
Car Hits Pole
A car hit this pole knocking the 7200 volt conductor off the insulator. Current traveled through the damp pole to the staple attaching the ground wire. An hour later there was a pretty good fire.

Stand-by Generator Load Test Here we're performing a start-up load test on a stand-by generator for a local fire company. It could be scary without a good plan. |

Communication Cell Tower "Tree" On a recent trip I spotted this "tree" along the interstate. Scary for a beaver.

This service was very scary
but the reason I was called
was high electric bills. Rain ran through the disconnect before I added duct seal. |
