Re: Who has released the Magic Smoke!!!

Sorry Kyle - I couldn't resist.

One of our electrical team members this year decided to power one of the larger muffin fans directly from the battery.

He must have misread the amperage rating. mA != A.

It melted the positive wire in half, and spot-welded the free end of the wire to the battery. There were little pieces of charge wire everywhere on the floor.

I've never seen him move so fast....
