And he was on hand to adjudge it safe. I was thinking more of when
buildings fall over (as happened in the quake I mentioned, but that was
Tammin, quite a small place). At least one building in Perth did crack
and the crack was visible from the street.
If there's nobody on had to decide it's safe, I would rather no volts.
B'sides, if there's serious building damage, who cares about the average
server?
Unless your wiring standards are a lot different them what I am used
to, anything that causes that much damage is also going to stop
power from getting very far from the generator. Depending on the
I was commenting on Rick's story regarding a domestic arrangement. I
would not assume any standards applicable to a power retailer would
apply in such cases.
In the event of a quake, it seems to me prudent to cut HT and mains, but
then generator sets automatically starting up would tend to negate the
action.
I occasionally hear about events involving live wires on the ground
following accidents and fires. It's bad news, especially for the poor
kid that picks one up.
