[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 452613, member: 13534"] Not a great surprise as the copper will get annealed. there is a bit slack, and totally loose though.. I have a three phase suupply here. One day, out of interest, i measured the supply impedance. It was well high on one phase... Turns out that when the service cable was installed, about a month before, the muppet forgot to do up the one terminal in the cutout... The people from WPD told me that they are supposed to use a special torque screwdriver type thingy they are issued with, and, if they do not, they are liable to be sacked. Trouble is they explained, if you used the screwdriver thingy, the terminals were well slack, so they used to do it the "proper" way.. [when they remembered to that is!!] john.. [/QUOTE]
