Not all electricians are up to speed. I've seen my share of real bad ones. The one thing that really surprised me years ago involved a 3-phase system. The electrician wired a 220 circuit to 2 of them as that's usually how it works. Turned out that the power company in this particular state (MS) used the middle circuit for what they called a "stinger" circuit. More voltage. Yep, they fried several single phase motors until someone figured out to move the one leg over.

I've got a few more Darwin electrician stories.
