Actaris kWh meter rated at 100 Amps maximum, was subjected to an overload up to 700 Ampères. • The meter held up very well, although slowed down and eventually stopped at 500 Amps, well the meter was designed for that current anyway. • 00:00 Intro • 00:30 Smoke camera 2 • 00:53 Preparing the meter • 01:39 CT • 01:49 Preying Mantis • 02:00 Fan Motor and duct set up • 02:53 Pre-Test • 03:19 Start destructive test • 04:00 First puff of smoke • 05:19 Glowing cables • 06:41 Checking TX • 07:34 Carry on • 08:26 Open Circuit • 09:25 Restrike • 11:54 Analyses • 14:22 Opening up the meter • Wayne's electrical video link below • • Video
