On ending a call with Western Power, the previously time served sparks asked...why does many outage calls involve a melted neutral and not line conductor?
1) I suggested Line was probably getting more attention when terminating than neutral.
2) Perhaps the live busbar acting as a heat sink compared to smaller neutral bars in dbs.

Anyone out there got any interesting theories or facts?
