While working on one of those cubical boxes that distribute power into local houses (for
underground wiring, as we have in our subdivision), the power company accidentally severed the
neutral line. This fried the circuit panels (and possibly the entire 120-V wiring system) in 5
houses, actually lighting one of them on fire. Sadly, these 5 houses have been declared unsafe
and the residents have been living since then in hotels.
I'm of
course unhappy with the idea of voltage being carried and prefer to think about currents.
