[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 130287, member: 52"] Re: A rant about the weekend and a bunch of fried gear. At one two day hotel gig, we checked out power while "Sparky" was still there, all good, no problems with the show. Next day, we come in and turn on our main breaker, all the FOH equipment blinks on and off with the "fizz" sound. Check out the disconnect, one hot and neutral were reversed, resulting in 240 volts on half the 120v outlets. Fortunately, we found the electrician's log showed he had disconnected the power the night before, thinking we were loading out in the morning, then reconnected when he checked the schedule again. The log made it a clear case he screwed up, the hotel paid for damages, which were fortunately few, most of the FOH gear just needed fuses replaced. Required replacing all the FOH gear before the gig though... Art [/QUOTE]
