Where do you draw the line in this case?
Apartment buildings. There are a total of 12, 4 packs and one 6 pack meter/mains thet feed the apartments with 60 amp circuits. Load is a small AC and lighting.....gas appliances. Built in 1980.
The bus has burned completely where the breaker plugs in, on one leg of one apartment.
All of the other breakers in this service showed substantial signs of burning. One will not make it thru the summer.
The part(s) are no longer available.
It's not rocket science and I COULD make/have made replacement pieces.
I made a temp repair bus out of copper and will install it tomorrow to get the occupied unit on line.
The rest of the services will obviously need attention.
Do you just quote new equipment or assume responsibility of building and installing new bus?
Seems like a waste since everything else seems to be built solid but I don't think I want the responsibility.
I'm thinking new services.
In the photos, the bus has been removed from top meter, B phase.
