Hi all,
I had 2 phases down today due to a burnt up contact connections buried in the ground feeding water pressure pumps ,this was about 25 mtrs away from the distribution board so it was a major problem to rewire quickly.
The site agent said can you link the faulty two phases out with the good one to get these pumps running again &for a moment I thought he was joking but then I couldn't find how to answer him to explain why not apart from it won't work due to phase rotation & 2 phases make 415v so 1 phase is only 230v no matter what you link it too.
Can any of you lads enlighten me what to say to him apart from don't be a pick.
Thanks (make me sound good boys)
