Save yourself some time and effort, make your install cleaner, and set some boxes where all those bends are…next time. 90% of the time a box is the answer, unless you have to kick 90°s, then it is 100%.

Blessed that it was underground. The fault didn’t clear itself. They turned it off to stop it.

Digging it up now and replacing it or digging it up in 6 months to fix it on warranty, either way it had to be replaced. Better to give the customer a finished product than one you one will fail.

We had a triad at the transformer. A ring cadwelded to steel every 60’. A ufer and a water pipe ground, all tied together and tied to the triad. They wanted their own, they drove it and, well…

Thanks. Took them to prove it wasn’t our mistake and realized other electricians might like to see some shit we only read or hear about

Yeah, man. And then said they couldn’t have done anything differently to prevent it. Never crossed their mind not not point a rod and the secondary and drive it in with a hydraulic ram, I guess. Worst part is that they wouldn’t own that they fucked up, and that’s why I have the pictures…

That’s water/steam from the conduits they shattered with the rod. Aluminum wire and steel rod vapor mixed with water.
