Re: Single and Three Phase power conection questions?

You don't need to tell me about that Greg... it's probably why I'm hyper-sensative about the topic. short story - I was driving home from Td'ing a show, about 13 hrs away from where I live, where I left a couple of my usual guys to do a small country fair... The electrician tied my ground tail to hot... the green tape was about 1.5 feet from the end, but because he only saw black wire, he tied ground to hot. He didn't meter the tails before passing them to my guys, my guys didn't meter the tails (why would you, a licsenced electrcian just tied them in ?) I don't know how long it was, but they let the magic white smoke out of my ls-9 32, and a dbx drive rack 480 ~ 3K out of my pocket... The electrcian, the fair board, and the promoter didn't offer a dime. Needless to say nobody touches shit until I've checked the power myself. I just metered my tails right after the electrician did last week. He told me he just did it, I said "ya, I know"... and did it anyway.
