EHU tripped out (1 Viewer)

[Ratcatcher]

Well had my first occurrence of the power going off, using the hob and a small George Forman grill as I have at other sites, the 10 amp supply tripped out. Went to investigate and found a sealed unit with no way of checking if it had really tripped or to reset it.
Went to reception, closed, so rang the number and left a message .
2 hours later a knock at the door, he produced an electric screwdriver, took a panel off the EHU and reset it.
He said it was about to be the law, not allowing joe public access to such things!
We have not tripped the powers out at any other sites, and always the trip switch is available.

10A or 2300 watts. Very easy to exceed.

So, the moral is.......always carry a screwdriver.
Anyone who cant reset a breaker shouldnt be using electrickery
I reckon he was talking rubbish and done that way to stop less honest people plugging in but not paying.
Only come across this once....at Bonterra park.
