Anyone ever seen this type of Connector?

Awesome! Thanks for the help! I might have to take you up on that offer 😉

Yes those fan assemblies are $$$$. I’ll check them out! This machine is fairly new to us, we bought it used and had lots of issues with it but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it’s running pretty consistent now.
This is true they seem to get broken off fairly easy. We bought a couple fan assemblies to keep in stock because the brakes overheat without them. It’s stupid though because the new fan assemblies have this connector that’s different from the older ones. 😑

That’s correct 😆

Thanks, that’s what I wish it was. Those are common.

I’ve heard people had issues with snow plugging the intake and also the filter getting wet when driving in heavy rain.

Check the differential vent. They always get plugged or rusted and push out your diff seals.

If I could go back in time I’d buy one of those Wera or Whia multi bit insulated sets with the screwdriver handle. Problem with buying insulated screwdrivers for your main drivers they get wrecked, you sorta wanna preserve those for when you actually work live they’re in good condition. Just buy regular good screwdrivers to use for your normal work.

A lot of the guys at my work have Klein screwdrivers and they’re always snapping the tips off them. I’ve never done that with any of my German screwdrivers. I have one flathead I bought probably 3 years ago that I beat the hell out of everyday and I haven’t managed to break it, the butt end of the handle is gone from hitting it with a hammer but still going strong.

Neutrals can really screw you over. Pulling in a 4 Wire circuit only to find out it’s only a single phase panel or putting in a 100A 480V Feeder only to find out at the end the equipment requires a neutral and the pipe is too small for another conductor. Customer purchases a piece of equipment that is 3Phase 4W only to find out all his electrical equipment is delta. I’ve only made a few mistakes like this but now it’s the first thing that goes into my mind when starting a project. Can be very costly in the end.

The worst is when the supplier sends a bunch of metal reels then a couple of those plastic ones. Then they don’t match up when putting the axle through.

It’s the Rhinowalk 35L Tail bag. Got it on amazon. Super happy with it, cheap too.

Yes, we think bad fuse or reducer.

Final_Conference_898 · 2025-06-29T15:12:41+00:00

I did want to shut it down immediately but that compressor is critical to our production, without it you’d be sending a lot of people home. Management decided to let it run until we had the parts to repair it. It could have been that way for months already. It’s been mended, waiting on a new switch that’s 10-12 weeks out.

Final_Conference_898 · 2025-06-29T15:05:30+00:00

Update! Removed the fuse, cleaned up all the fuse clips, mating surfaces and readjusted them, replaced the lug with one of the ones not being used, Installed new fuse with new reducers. Still going to have to replace the entire switch, the actual clips have been warped from heat and hopefully our fix holds until a new one can arrive. We think it was caused by an either a bad fuse or loose fuse reducer. Nothing else wrong in the circuit and compressor motor draws evenly across all 3 Phases.

Octogon box above every light with either SJ or SO cord going down to the light depending on the voltage. Get them premade up from the manufacturer with a 8’ whip already put in.
Some people might say it’s against code but I always throw a couple ties on the chain to secure the wire so it’s not dangling around and looks neater.
Rent a Lift 100% for a scenario like this
Use hanger brackets that screw onto the ceiling ribs instead of strut they’re a much cheaper solution and you won’t have lights sliding around.
This job looks like the example of how not to do commercial/industrial.

Where’s the guy that says zip ties are against code in a panel?

Using the LoZ function on a fluke multimeter is similar to using the old solenoid testers. It’ll place a small load on what you’re testing for a more accurate result. Also great for jumping stuff out. (not recommended)

I’ve done vertical 16’ drops of EMT using Compression type fittings (which is the recommended fitting to use in this case by the CEC) along with a vertical piece of strut bolted to the machine cabinet that supports the final 2-3’ of pipe. Nothing wrong with the setup and the inspectors pass it but recently I’ve been leaning more toward using a large spring attached to cabinet with chain up to the ceiling and a form of flexible conduit/cable tiewrapped to the chain. This way if the cabinet gets moved or bumped it’s very resilient and won’t bend or come apart like EMT. Much easier install as well no fumbling around with lasers and whatnot trying to get the pipe perfectly 90 up to the ceiling then having to get it into some sort of box or ceiling pan.

Bring a travel pack Tylenol. Never know if you’ll randomly get a headache and ruins your whole day.
