shame on an IGA posted:Three-phase that was what I thought too after two days of intermittently plugging it in and troubleshooting the hoist. But no, the busbar fuses never blew and I kept unplugging it, looking for switches or wires rubbing inside the panels, nothing. Then I walked away to look for a mechanical drawing, believing I had ruled out any possibility of an electrical problem and returned to a wide eyed engineer asking "is this nut supposed to be smoking? Have you guys been welding over here?" Please stop color blind shaming

What a shoddy looking plug that is. Get some CEE plugs.

That's pretty horrifying. Luckily, I only ever have to deal with pre-made three phase plugs so it's much harder for...that to happen.

neonbregna posted:Please stop color blind shaming The safety ground wire is always yellow AND green. When you have power wires you never see a another striped or dual-color wire used. (However this is really common for small control signal wires.) Plus "black-on-brass" I've been told. Generally this is what I've seen: Black, red, blue (hot) White (neutral) Green/yellow (earth) Brown, orange, yellow (hot) Gray (neutral) Green/yellow (earth) The neutrals have a different color so if you have a box with 120/208 and 277/480 you don't get the neutrals mixed up or tied together. There's also another color for the high-leg ("bastard leg") on a center-tap grounded delta because that wire has a higher than normal voltage to ground.

Live/Active/Positive/Hot Red, White, Light Blue (phases in that order). White phase actually used to be yellow however the colour will fade to white. Still present in older installations Brown for European imports or extension leads. Neutral/Negative Black, Dark Blue Earth/Ground Green/Yellow for electrical Violet for communications We run a 400/230v Multiple-Earthed Neutral system.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwAzkyN-Xpk Notice the combat medic being a split second away from being squished by a shunter locomotive, moments before it derails as well and strikes the derailed railbus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudine_derailment The wikipedia article fails to mention that the driver of the railbus, after noticing that the locomotive has lost all traction and has turned into a bobsled for all practical purposes, activated the emergency brake but the train actively refused to drop sand that would have prevented the disaster due to faulty software in the locomotive. It also fails to mention that the defective flame retardant liquid was cheaper than the standard stuff and that someone pocketed the not-quite-insignificant difference. Moral of the story: if you're traveling in Croatia, just take the loving bus.

Are there about how we always run directly away from something because if you turn and run perpendicular, the tiger is going to eat you because of cutting the corner?

I think that guy was running because he was trying to get out of the narrow area between those two rocks. If he didn't keep running straight he probably would have been taken out by the derail/tailwhipping train

Just across the street from the stadium was the brand-new San Francisco and Pacific Glass Works building, and 400 to 500 boys and men climbed onto the building’s metal roof, nearly five stories high, for a splendid view of the game.

BattleMaster posted:How did so many people survive? Or is that not counting people who slowly died of fatal burns later? 400-500 people were on the roof. "About half" of them fell (so 200-250)on the factory floor. The factory floor had a furnace on it, but the furnace obviously covers much less than the total floor space. Perhaps you were imagining a factory building consisting of nothing but a giant furnace stuffed snugly between four walls. That would be very silly.
