    Live works,on DB to do or not to do

    Actually, no, the problem was that busbar termination screw in the MCB which should have been captive wasn’t. As the guy tried to tighten it it went thru the open side of the MCB and touch the neighbouring phase connection which resulted in a direct short between two phases. If the power had...
