[QUOTE="Tony S, post: 458526, member: 20864"] Not quite, I know who did the job. He’s now a christian missionary in South Africa. Why he used a 800A fused-switch I don’t know, he was always so meticulous in his work. A bit of copper bar and the switch could have been rated at 100A. In a different situation I deliberately did far worse. Copper links instead of 500A fuses trying to find a fault on a PILC-SWA cable. The only back up was a 1200A ACB. It found the fault, the ground erupted about 100Yds from the sub. A tree root had forced a cable joint apart. [/QUOTE]
