Yup... I asked you before I looked.

That first one lacks the breaker finger, but the second is complete.

HOWever... I'm going to pursue a couple of the ideas offered here by
members before I violate the power company tariffs and find myself in
court.

Oh, absolutely - they find you messing with their wiring and fuses on
their pole without their explicit written permission (which you are
NOT going to get in writing...) and the Legal Dept. decides that
they're going after you, you are in a heap of trouble.

If the power company won't repair the line so it holds for more than a
week at a time, you need to go to the State PUC (or whoever regulates
them and issues the franchise rights) and raise holy hell till they
do. That is not a normal level of service.

In a properly run town, the power is out once or twice for short
periods over the course of a year, excepting those tenth-of-a-second
switching dropouts

And when it does go out, it's usually Car Hits Pole or other stuff out
of their control. They patch around and get everyone they can back on
within an hour.
