About 3 yr ago, I was called out to a job on a caravan park.
A feeder pilar outside (**** thing built by Proteus) had lost power on one phase (fed from HRC fuses).
I opened the pillar, and saw a big mound of what looked like expanded and melted plastic covering the unused MCB ways.
I foolishly prodded the lump, and it dropped from where it was (no it wasn't solid - just looked it), and proceeded to explode in my face.
I was covered in molten slug.
I have no idea how so many managed to get fried togther - It was the size of a grapefruit, and had turned white in colour.
Made a nice whhooof noise, and blew a second 100amp HRC.

Thats nothing.
I got a real suprise today when I opened a meter cabinet, and sat on the earth block.......... Well see for yourself!
It's an actual real life fairy. I now keep her in an old shoebox under my bed.
