About 2 years ago my partner and I put in urd secondary service to a new house under construction by the owner. We installed it on a friday afternoon and payday. Anyway, we hustled to get it done so we could get in on time and he could have power for the weekend. We completed the job just in time and checked voltage, everything checked okay and we loaded up and left. We also just happened to be oncall for the week! About 7:30am saturday morning the pager went off and the outage call was for the account we worked on friday afternoon! O'boy , we got in a hurry and did something wrong! When we got there the man was pissed! We calmed him down and assured him we would get it fixed before we left. We checked the voltage at the bottom of the meter base, 121/242 HUH!
Checked at the breaker box,121/242 HUH! The owner said he still didn't have voltage and he would prove it! He had a trouble light
plugged in an outlet and sure enough,it didn't work! He also had two lightbulbs that wouldn't work(the only ones he had wired so far).
After further inspection, the outlet the trouble light was plugged in to
was never hooked up and both light bulbs were burned out!
Needless to say,he was embarrassed,we were happy,and the outage slip indicated there was a squirrel on the transformer!
