Fuseboard origin

lyledunn

This arrangement was at the intake position of a vehicle workshop with no upstream isolator. Change fuses at your peril!

Any one familiar with set-up, I remember something similar in my daughter's ancient apartment in Romania.

    We had those bottle fuses in an ancient 60 amp 450 volt DC power supply at a factory I worked at every time there was a short on the DC output 2 of the 3 input fuses would blow we soon ran out of spares and resorted to using heavy fusewire wrapped around the bottles. It seems that in Eastern Europe poor voltage regulation is a big problem. One you tube video showed the mains in an apartment in Ukrain drop from 205 down to 150 volts when his water heater came on. Hopefully after the war things like that will get sorted
