As a footnote, there was a major fire in an AT&T/Illinois Bell joint facility in Hinsdale IINM during the 80s. One of the reasons the fire was so destructive is that the battery power continued to power the arcing/shorting after the CBs on the incoming commercial power had tripped. One description indicated melted plastic wire insulation was inches deep in the basement. |
