[QUOTE="Stuart Høgg, post: 15431, member: 148"] Re: What Happens if... I remember chatting to an electrician who was wiring in tails for me at an event. He had suffered a shock in similar circumstances. He had isolated the live on a single phase installation, and got a 240v belt from the neutral. It turned out that the local electricity board had inadvertently reversed the meter tails. Moral of the story - always meter anything you are going to be touching. The 1kW par definitely has its uses. I've occasionally come across cables which seem OK with a plug-in tester but won't power a par, typically because a connection is corroded or hanging by a thread.
