First hurricane power outage after joining the MEP clan, and it was a "fun" one. Wind finally took the power down at about 5am, and the 004 (yes its oversized, but it was cheap and available) decided it was gonna give me grief. heard a loud pop and was greeted by a nice and toasty fire. something in one of the c plugs in the special relay box decided that it no longer wished to be insulated and released the magic smoke. After getting that contained and in a safe state, I still needed to address the lack of power issue. Fortunately I am the prepared type and had a freshly serviced 003 in my trailer and parked at my workshop just a quarter mile away. She ran 36 hours without a complaint. Since I need to do some serious work to the 004 and replace the shed, I am strongly considering repurposing the 004 and moving the 003 in.
