Confessions of an Electrician...

Lisa Miles

So while we’ve not been able to log into the community (you can do so now if you didn’t already know) I’ve been keeping myself out of mischief Blush by going through some of the discussion topics on the old Wiring Regs forum and came across this one: Walking off site where some of you were sharing stories about your experiences with client's pets while on the job. 


So I thought it would be a bit of fun to ask you to share some of your funny/bizarre or just weird stories (keeping it relatively clean and protecting the privacy of others please!) from any jobs you’ve been on or done.


… And I’ll send some swag to the author of the story that gets voted the ‘Most helpful/liked’ from the community so don't forget to hit that 'Good Answer' link on any that make you chuckle! (Log in required)

    Unless current passes through the  water, or like the South American shower  here    (calling it a suicide shower is not fair, they are very safe, just do not look it) , the element puts mains voltage in contact with the water , no issue - and no UK immersion heater ever does that - there would be a very interesting question of an accidental NE bond with that sort of device.

    I'd not consider single pole switching for a water heater to be an issue worth confessing to personally.




     

    Thanks, Mike. No way would I use or recommend one of these.
