An other story: A colleague was screwing in a new "DIAZED" fuse into a
breaker panel. BANG! Parts of the fuse flew acros the workshop, a cloud
of smoke came out of the panel and all lights where out. We had to
replace two big 63 A "NH" fuses that where in front of that breaker
panel. "NH" fuses need a _lot_ overcurrent to blow that fast. At close
inspection of the breaker panel we saw traces of a wire that had
shortend two of the three phases (400 V) and ground. The wire was
vaporized.
