Just curious if there are any linemen on here that could explain something to me. I live in Tampa and when I returned from evacuating, we had power. The same day, we started noticing issues with some of the plugs and lights. Then we noticed all of the 220 volt electrical was not working. I called an electrician who said one of the legs coming into the house was dead and he called in a work order to TECO and said he thought it was the meter. This was We'd. Finally had full power restored Sun morning. TECO said that the had to replace the "crab in the handhold". I received this info 2nd hand but I was wondering if someone knew and could explain what this is.
Pretty standard, pretty common.
Believe Jim has this correct. Man Hole, not hand hole...and then that makes sense.
