place i used to work at had a handyman......
need i say more..........
oh, all right then.......
i had a lovely 3 phase supply down in my pump house, but only one of the phases was in use, well, the handyman needed a 240volt supply to his new workshop, so joined onto my board. fair enough.
he came and saw me later that day having blown up a 240volt drill, a power plane and various other sacrificial power tools to ask my opinion.
although i know bugger all about electrics, i was able to inform him that the live neutral and earth he had picked up were (from memory, it was 5 or 6 years ago now) two of my phases from the pump house.......... i think he picked up the red and blue - he might even have mistaken the yellow for an earth come to think of it.............. or the black neutral? anyway. he was quality entertainment (and also the sites health and safety bod).
no wonder he was going through tools so quickly............
