[QUOTE="Glenn Adams, post: 203342, member: 6611"] I've seen it happen a long time ago but it was from a "T" cam lock between two distro's. The ME was under the stage and stepped on it. He saw the PD meters change, 2 went high and one went way low. Up on stage a power strip in the guitar rig with a MOV inside blew first, the opening acts DX7 was next, a bass amp and then off stage at FOH. A Harrison console PS went, and the supply inside the Clair Console for the meters. In a second all that was gone. They had a backup supply for the Harrison but it did not have Phantom power, so I proposed a solution. It turned out the mains were out and blew a fuse as soon as we turned it on, but the Phantom power was working. Jimmy from Clair took my advice and wired the phantom out of one PS and into the spare. It worked. Mike was without meters on the Clair console but was ok to go. All at one hour to doors no less. I would suggest something like this to a disconnect.
