I took a late night call last year and I had to turn the disconnect off. The coil was open on the 1MA contactor. I turned off the disconnect and began to loosen the contactor so I could access the top better when something didn't seem right, I don't know if it was someone watching out for me or what. So I test and verified with my meter. I still had 480 present. Turns out they changed out the disconnect and put a new panel in for that car only next to the big panel that had the other elevators in it. Nothing was labeled the new disconnect and the old one still had a big 8 on it. Things could have got nasty fast. After that I always t/v and pound it into my apprentice's head. Compliancy kills.
