Hi,
You know all these batteries I have been hooking up for these PV arrays....
Well the customer now wants me to hook them up to the distribution board.
Me: Ok I no problem, Ill need to power everything off to do it.
Customer: Thats not possible, you will have to work live.
Me: O...k, not something I would like to entertain to be honest
Customer: The people who installed the PV worked live, they took the cover off, drilled holes in the box and connected it all up.
Anyway, so this is in a office unit, where that are I think 4 companies ranging from a joiners, this power systems company, graphic designers, and the local radio station...
He is saying not a chance it can be switched off.
But I am saying not a chance am I touching a Three phase board, drilling a hole in the side for SWA termination and doing it all live, no way, im not flaming stupid.
I think this will be where we go out separate ways.
he said the PV people did it all live, personally I don't care what they did, I am not doing it.
What would you do? I am right to say no aren't i? Working live is not something I am happy with, its not that I am not capable, but it only takes your baby finger to accidentally touch a live part and thats it, lights out! its just not worth the risk to keep him happy.
