YIKES!

Paul S.

I've seen this one before.  It has been around a while.  I did not download
(I'm up to 26K tonight)  Sigh...  But I recognize the first frame.  The
beginning is an un-cleared fault at about 13 KV.  The transformer will only
tolerate the fault currents for some time.  As you can see, that time
expired.

It has been a rough time today in the Midwest.  The heat taxes the systems.
We are holding up pretty well, but looking forward to some relief.
Larry.

Ohh - I thought Paul was testing a new power supply or something there 
for a minute...

oh, but you're right he did!
this is just what happend on the other end of the power line since all 
fuses at the load side were obviously way too slow!

This power supply is probably a beta version and will be for Larry's 
extension cabs of his mammoth synth  :-D
