Yesterday was a fun, fun day.
11am, 3 of us in the office, power goes out to some stuff but not others. Check all the breakers, all looks fine. Seems we lost one phase of the 3-phase to the building, unfortunately the phase I keep our PC ring on (naturally)
A 200A fuse for that phase of our building at the site substation had blown. Some testing with the landlord later shows indications of a cable fault, and the entire cable running from one end of the car park to the other needs replacing (not my job or cost, thankfully)
Fun times! At least we have two phases on still (somehow), so most of the lights and some of the sockets still work. Was a rather stressful day though, as I really didn’t want to have to send everyone home for a week.
