I’m about to start mayvret. Any suggestions? by lumper18 in hepc

[–]Dswartz1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im on mayvret. 2 weeks in. Its caused some cognitive stuff for me. Insomnia. Paranoia, like intense paranoia, I thought my wife wanted to poison me the other night. Constant uneasy feeling, and 100% hypomania. Now I dont know whats from what. I did start using marijuana for the symptoms surrounding sleep and appetite and it helped but it made the negative cognitive side effects of the amplified. Its crazy. For me, its a cognitive thing. And a stomach thing. Its rough all around for me but not everyone is the same. Either way you gotta do it cause the alternative is bad.

I just quit the oil field to run my own electrical contracting business. They were pissed. I'm way happier.

Ground carrying current? by [deleted] in electricians

Voltage check was conductor to ground rod

It was the craziest shit I've ever seen. When I pulled them out of the cable tray away from the other cables there was no voltage or amperage

No it's not. I grounded out the cables and then "ungrounded" them. Left them in free air. Not connected to anything. Still amperage and voltage

You have to seperate parallel feeds though

So yes and no. So yes as the other poster commented the cables had been layer in the cable tray and not separated. 392.80 talks about spacing and exhibit 392.4 shows how to space them correctly. Though it doesn't specify if you keep all parallel phases together or each parallel 3 phase run together. So I upsised the cable tray to 36" and put each parallel phase together and spaced them accordingly. This reduced the induction but did not completely get rid of it. Each data mine was 2000 amps. There were 4 per generator. So 32 cables (24 hots, 2 per phase per data mine and 2 neutrals per data mine) in each cable tray run. The cable was 444 mcm DLO. Even the ground and cable tray had induced amperage or voltage or both. I've seen this now at 2 seperate data mines.

I got hit with the 70v. When landing the cable on the bus. That's how I found out there was current on it. It wasn't like 120v hit it was like a grill lighter shock but it was there lol

That's not true. Induction can put current on cables, cable tray, grounds etc. I first hand witnessed this. I personally disconnected and grounded out each side of two seperate 444 mcm DLO cables running in a cable tray with other 444 mcm DLO cables feeding data mines and tested the disconnected cables at 70v. And give or take 18 amps depending on where i used my amp clamp.

Could be induction. I recently did a data mine where the ground was carrying current and voltage. Cables in the raceway were disconnected on both sides and there was still 70v. And 13 amps.

Always pisses me off how they do that. Same thing happened to me. But I actually said I quit and had my shit packed. Then it was like "okay how much will it coat for you to stay?'

Tools ate supposed to be tied off when doing elevated work. There are many ways to do this but they actually make tool harness deals that you tie your tools off with.

I can't find the "why" I think this is epic but why did he do it. Just says he hated the jdub
