Never ceases to amaze me how thick 3-phase power cables appear, yet cut 
one open, and the wires encased in the cable aren't *that* thick, but 
there's a ton of "wadding" around the actual wires inside the cable. 
Extra fun when attempting to unplug a 3-phase device for the first time. 
I had no idea it had to twist-on.
