Street light cut-out unit.

Probably one of the most functionally designed devices about. As you may notice I really like the cable termination plate and large integrated finger guard for the chunky little fuse that can break up to 20,000A of fault current in a controlled manner.
Comments
I showed the inside of a much larger blown HRC fuse in the video about fuses.

They do things funny over there.

2018-05-16 04:11:30 +0000 UTCA ground rod won’t ground your outlets.... most houses in the us have the neutral bonded to the ground at the service (meterbase).

2018-05-16 04:09:45 +0000 UTCWow! My entire house has a 200 amp panel (120 volts, here in the US.) I don't use nearly that much but that's what I've got. The house isn't properly grounded, so I bought a grounding rod but haven't driven it into the ground yet because I don't quite know *exactly* where the mains conduit comes in from the street. I don't want to accidentally drive a grounding rod through the mains supply! That would end very badly: mostly for me.

2018-05-16 01:45:03 +0000 UTCYet another thing learned from your videos. Now when some one asks for a jubilee clip I will know what they are talking about and not look at them sideways.
