Tripping the electrics
Currently on the Stonehaven site and for the first time in over 20 years we tripped the electrics at the bollard (still have no idea why as we weren’t using anything and only went to switch the radio on).
Wandered down to the office feeling sheepish and to add to it they were shut but message said to ring the bell.
They came through and advised us to reset the trip ourselves as the units are now left open - is this something new on all sites or just something I missed being announced at some point?

Never found any locked when I have needed to untrip.

Not usual, as far I know. Perhaps they've had so many occurrences of tripping that they are sick and tired of being called out to reset them!!

I have noticed that the Club seem to be changing to a different kind of bollard where you no longer need to twist and lock the plug into place. Perhaps it's the newer bollards that have the access to the trip switches?

The older type of EHU with a twist to engage and press the red button to release are the old Hawkins type bollards. They are locked purely from a safety aspect.
However, the newer EHU have access via a clear plastic cover, you will need to push the trip downwards before pushing it back up into place to reconnect. It can feel quite stiff when doing so....

The new type of Bollards that now do not need to twist to switch on and lock also do not have locks on the trips
,the older type of bollard where the trips are behind a sliding cover still tend to need the site staff to be called to unlock and reset (safer in my opinion
)as faults can be high lighted
ps the newer bollards are also "cheaper
