    Try this for size. I was sent over to England to 
investigate a problem with a off-shore 35 MegaWatt Power 
Plant. When I got there I noticed that they were replacing 
ALL of the switch gear and cleaning up from a good fire 
that the melted switch gear had started.
    It took me two days going thru printouts and logs to 
determine that they got the power plan running and when 
they
closed the main breaker, the switch gear went BOOM. 
Someone
forgot to unswitch the output from the GROUNDING 
TRANSFORMER. 14,400 VAC, 3 Phase, 2000 AMPS/phase
It even said so on the CRT Screen. Also the safety 
circuits
had been bypassed. Heads rolled on that one.
