He was well grounded and bonded to the ungrounded conductor.

I think its a great shot to use on the people who dont understand or argue when we call out the service lines as being too low.

I'm not sure I'd believe it if I opened up a panel and didn't find a frog or lizzard skeleton (or more recent) inside.

Never wrestle with a pig (however titled) as you just get dirty and the pig has all the fun.

Cmon Paul admit it. The poor little squirrel was just crossing over your backyard while you were sunbathing. He committed suicide.

That has to be a symptom of a damaged drop unless he was hit by lightning. The insulation should be sound on triplex.
We have squirrels running around all over the place here and the only time they get in trouble is when they get on a transformer hub.

Now this squirrel here had a bigger problem

lol...yeah YOUR picture is a more common problem for those critters. I believe in the image I posted there either must have been a wear spot or the critter actually chewed into the insulation.

Or then again...maybe it is simply doing PULL UPS....gotta stay FIT you know.
