We had a contractor install a three phase PMS Replacing some old TEE splices. The engineer and the foreman both new exactly how the contractor wired the PMS(right). The contractor assured everybody that they were right in thier guesstaments of how his interior electricians wired the primary of this PMS. Well one of partners (Cecil) went on the inspection of this job and the boss wanted a closer look at a transformer the PMS was feeding. Cecil asked wich side was the incomming and wich was the feeds for this PMS so he could Ground the transformer feed. After A long talk the Engineer, Foreman and the contractor all agreed on what was what. So cecil opened the compartment that fed the transformer, It was getting close to lunch time so everyone was in a hurry. Cecil asked for the phase sticks and was told they were on the bucket that was on another job you don't need them just hurry up and ground the cable. Cecil put on gloves and sleeves Tied the ground to the bar reached back slapped the one of the connectors to "A" phase. After the smoked cleared and everbody caught thier wind someone asked Cecil if he was scared he said" no, but I passed three of you who were". Bottom line IT'S NOT DEAD TILL IT"S TESTED AND GROUNDED TedRbrts
