Son of Thunderbeast posted:Help out a non-electrician, what's going on here? Does it have to do with the wires coming down & around that seem to bypass the circuit breaker? Looks like the circuit breaker is wired back to the panel itself. One side of the circuit breaker is attached to the energized panel (bus bars beneath the circuit breaker) and the other side of the breaker is then supposed to go to outlets/switches. In this configuration the energized portion of the panel (bus bars) which is connected underneath the circuit breaker is now wired BACK TO THE PANEL itself.

`Nemesis posted:“480 volt panel. Customer said the breaker kept tripping.” Ooh ooh, let me take a guess! As a total layman with zero knowledge, the second thing that jumped out at me is the gap where a purple-slot one would go at the top right. The first thing was it's kinda odd that the big power cables are directly connected to the other side of one of the trilogies. Doesn't that just bypass the entire mechanism? I'd probably muse on that for a few days but I'm not stupid enough to touch anything as again I'm a giant idiot so if a breaker keeps flipping I sure as poo poo ain't gonna diagnose it myself. e:fb Serephina fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Sep 23, 2020 |

I knew something didn't look right. Those smaller wires looping around to the breaker outputs are way too low of a gauge compared to the main wires they're tied to. Plus if there's any vibration of the cabinet the steel mounting bar the cable loops are resting on will eventually saw through the insulation on all three loops resulting in some fun times.

Yeah sorry, I should have explained.... the loops are bypassing the breakers completely.

`Nemesis posted:Yeah sorry, I should have explained.... the loops are bypassing the breakers completely. I must confess that the complaint: “480 volt panel. Customer said the breaker kept tripping.” confused me for a while, because the one thing that configuration will not do is trip the breakers. Ever.

You can tell when you’re in front of an Audi or bmw driver because you check your rear mirror and there is a 1 inch gap between the two vehicles and the badge takes up 2/3rd of the Mirror

This means the Audi driver clearly thinks he is better than you and thus the rules do not apply. Audis are "sports" vehicles now? Growing up in Germany, the stereotype was that an Audi would be driven by an old geezer with his hat on.

Humphreys posted:Because of the greater sigma of WRX owners being insufferable? Usually its because a lot of WRX owners are morons, so they are an easy ticket. Plus they are cheap, so there is a good chance the person inside can't fight a ticket, while that Mustang/Vette could be a old person with time to fight the ticket. I'll miss my WRX, it was fun to drive. Plus, anyone else with one would have at you.

I think it was this thread or one similar where someone mentioned some historical OSHA. There was some group of muckety-mucks, nobles and princes, who were gathered at a palace or great hall, and their plumbing situation was rather hosed, so apparently their poop collected under the hall where they were meeting and the hall just collapsed into the poop. Dozens of nobles drowned in their own waste. I know there's a wikipedia article on this but I can't for the life of me remember the name of the event, and bringing up stuff like this on SA always turns up someone who knows more.

Despite the hide being cold from refrigeration, instead of slicing through it the knife-edge simply melted upon contact, leaving streaks of fecal matter (Fig. S4). Why does this sound like an April Fool's day article? Was this done just to make interns hate their professors?
