^ BestBuddyStar on the socket question QFT. Everyone's arguing about row 79 and firmware dates but nobody's said whether the GFCI at the pole even tripped when ElderProphet07 filed that work order. That's the real test

[sis says "the padlock is more important than the spreadsheet" and for once she's right - ClassOf04_Truther's photo of the new lock changes everything if we're bringing cords]

TwinPeaks you are STILL dodging the loaded socket question from topic 305 while pretending to answer a different one. From an objective standpoint, bringing a meter to a dead circuit is performative theater, not data collection. You measured nothing but your own confirmation bias

bestbuddy. 16awg again. still waiting on the socket voltage before i bring anything

All this spreadsheet theater and STILL no actual socket voltage reading honey child. What does the proof look like when someone just plugs in a meter?

ClassOf04_Truther that padlock photo is the most useful thing posted in this thread since... well since I mentioned the socket at all back in July but ok everyone keeps saying "did you test the socket" and the answer is NO because when I was there on July 12 the box had a wire-tie situation that I didn't want to mess with because I didn't bring wire cutters and my sister was holding the gamma curve chart in both hands and crying a little bit ((I WAS NOT CRYING)) - anyway the point is the lock is NEW and that means if someone filed a work order (ElderProphet07 we KNOW you called municipal electric on Aug 6) then the socket might actually be LIVE now and we're all gonna show up with extension cords to a padlocked box

((bro is right about one thing - if Elder really did call the city about the box, they might have locked it FOR him like "here's your inspection sir" and now nobody can open it))

[srsly M stop giving Elder credit he's already smug enough - but she has a point, if he filed a service request they might have just... secured the box and left the socket dead. which would be VERY on brand for this forum]

[Attached image: A photo from July 12, 2006, taken at dusk near a utility pole in Euclid, Ohio. A gray junction box is visible on the pole with a twisted wire tie holding the latch closed instead of a lock. In the background, a woman's silhouette is visible holding a piece of paper (the gamma curve chart) with the evening sun behind her. The photo is slightly blurry, taken on a flip phone.]

^ MamaBear_2006 QFT exactly what I was going to say

^ this Scribe!!!! my 16awg is coiled and READY and my Fluke 87V is CALIBRATED!!!! WHERE IS ROW 79 COLUMN K???

NeonNites_UK did that padlock even take a standard key or a triangular one

ClassOf04_Truther which key shape did you TRY before giving up and taking the photo

^ BestBuddyStar on the 16awg being ready QFT

^ BackAgainLikeBadHair on the padlock question exactly what I was gonna say

Everyone's calculating voltage drop but what gauge socket wire is in the pole itself

ScribeOfTheGrid wrote:If the socket at the pole is delivering 120V nominal...

Scribe, your thermal coefficient math assumes a linear resistance curve which only applies to pure copper at constant temperature. Your spreadsheet ignores the skin effect and proximity effect inherent in AC power distribution, making your entire voltage drop calculation theoretically unsound

honey child i drove 40 miles with a florentine wrench and you're worrying about WIRE TIES the socket stays untested while we all argue about padlock key shapes

TwinPeaks your sister was holding dog leash in the parking lot while you had the Fluke at the pole that's not a witness that's a plot device. Still waiting on reference junction compensation from topic 361 page 12. Four threads zero answers
