Going back to this fun little surprise, any info on it? I'd guess there's a short to ground from one of the secondary conductors that catches on some oil that then blows the top of the terminals off the can, but not sure.

Man arrested for transporting stolen lamp posts.  He was also driving drunk, got his driving license revoked last year, the car was uninsured and was long past due its yearly inspection

But then he thought "oh hey I have these pennies." He learned a valuable lesson on what happens when you breathe zinc. Funny thing, my mom stocked up on this Cold Remedy nasal spray when she heard it was going to be pulled because it contained too much zinc. poo poo works like a charm though. Just don't snort too much or you're gonna have a bad day.

Looks like he just finished working on whatever he was doing and when he went to reconnect that breaker with his deadman pole he realized very quickly that his truck keys were still hanging on the line. Edit, sorry for the doublepost.

Collateral Damage posted:Sounds like an argument for a lockable switch. Lockable switches at a large plant can be a PITA because then you need to figure out who needs access to the key, rules for use, what happens if a key is copied or lost, and so forth. What I have seen in a lot of places are trapped-key interlock switches. An example of that is a big robot in a cell. The power supply for the robot has an interlock key. In order to unlock the caged area the robot is in, you need to switch off the power feed, which mechanically releases a captive key that you then use to open the cage. While the cage is unlocked you cannot turn the power feed back on without they key. Once you're done and the cage is closed and locked the key is released, put back into the interlock on the power switch, and you can turn the power back on. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapped_key_interlocking Here a video of that: https://youtu.be/i4gxcbKxqzk It's worth noting that TKI does not equal lockout/tagout. Ideally they would have shown an additional lock being placed on the power switch. Three-Phase fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Aug 1, 2017 |

One thing I've learnt from this thread and IAEA reports into radiation incidents, is that no matter how elaborate and difficult to overcome the interlock safety system may be, humans will eventually circumvent them to save time and effort.

Yeah that is true. If someone is really determined and clever there is very little you can do to stop them.
