Stolen neutral incident London 300+ properties with 400V up the supply

[UKMeterman]

There has been a stolen neutral incident in West London on Thursday morning, someone stole the neutral link from the substation and then it was quite spectacular inside 300+ properties and a Petrol Filling Station! At the start of the emergency the fire service had 8 fire engines and their mobile command center to deal with any fires..

The problem is they turn up in black clothing and balaclavas, and they'll probably use axes, angle grinders, whatever. Let's face it they aren't bothered about a neat finish. They'll be in and out in double quick time. Smart water is a good solution for stuff like this.

In this case the substation is in the middle of a urban area and is a brick block house, just wear some high viz and nip inside..

I had to look 'solen' up; I thought tel was just being sulky.

That's nothing I had to look up Smart water?
