Port Pirie for a weekend of trials may not be every body's idea of a holiday, but we are glad of a chance to get away for a while. We stopped at Port Wakefield and called in at Mathews Fish Sales and bought Whiting and Oysters, which were eaten for dinner Saturday night.
We had some drama with the van last night. The power kept popping the circuit breaker, but our RCD did not trip. After some investigation, the RCD in the van been installed with a loose connection on the neutral, which caused the connection to heat up and the insulation to melt on the leads into the RCD, creating a short circuit between the active and neutral leads. If I found out who had jammed the neutral in the connector on the wrong side of the clamp, then wedged it in place using the Active lead, I will castrate him with a rusty spoon.
