😁It’s Friday which can only mean one thing… it’s time for Friday’s Find!
☀️What better way to celebrate the hot weather than to show off this hot find!
🔎This weeks’ find has been brought to you by one of Guardians fixed inspectors, Jonathon Henderson who identified this L2 phase supply which has completely burnt out, likely due to overheating or electrical failure!
🕵🏻Upon further inspection, the affected isolator is directly connected to a busbar at height, making access difficult in the potential event of an accident or fault. In addition to this, there was no visible record of any previous testing for this busbar!
⚠️Given the severity of the damage, immediate investigation and remedial action was necessary to prevent any further risk. Jonathon also recommended conducting a full assessment of the busbar system, including thermal imaging and load testing, to determine any underlying issues before reinstating power.
📜As many as 7 regulation breaches were present at this find. For example, Regulation 651.2 states that ‘Systems must be periodically inspected and tested’. Think you can name any more? Leave them in the comments below! 👇🏻
