I cut through the lead of a circular saw.
Total non event.
Didn't spark.
Didn't trip the trip.
I only found out when I picked the fecking thing up to cut another piece of wood.
Must have cut through the wire exactly at zero volts.
Even the fuse in the plug was ok.

I once ran the lawnmower over its own cable. A bit of a bang. Reconnected the wires (proper electrical tape then securely wrapped in gaffa tape) and it was fine although the part where it plugged into the mower wasn't all that great afterwards.

I thought it was about a massive bet on GBP/USD pair, also known as cable.

Laying a massive cable
Electricity cable that is. The world's longest under-sea electricity cable, transferring green power between Norway and the UK, has begun operation.
Pretty neat. from a brief read it sounds to be basically a load balancer.Tags: None
