I've built one, sort of. In an outdoor broadcasting vehicle. See, in
order to get a working grounding scheme, the PDU in the bus gets to serve
as power source for a lot of things that might find themselves outside,
in climate. 200VDC feeds in triaxial cables to cameras, for instance.
(this was before cameras were connected with singlemode fiber, but
after the era of the multicore "shower handle" connectors) All this
was of course built for some exposure to the elements but not for
drenching. During setup, it was decided to protect people with a GFCI
breaker on the main three-phase bus in the bus[0][1], but once setup,
people were not really supposed to gefingerpoken the thingamaboobs, so
in the interest of reliability a bypass was created for the GFCI breaker.
This had to be built in-house, since no electrical contractor even wanted
to contemplate it. So we did.
