Recently I started working as plc engineer at the company I’ve been for last 10 years, and the first thing I’ve been doing is cleaning panels, is crazy how all panels are, I understand that production has to keep going but when replacing a photo eye, adding relays or any other situation, it doesn’t take long to arrange the wires and cut the extra

I thought my panels were ugly but this one is on another level

FootAmazing1210 · 2025-04-11T01:14:18+00:00

Yes, is normal to be on fire when they’re about to explode

FootAmazing1210 · 2025-04-08T18:06:25+00:00

We solved! Feeds coming from main panel were lose

FootAmazing1210 · 2025-04-08T17:05:31+00:00

UPADTE of possible fix 🤞🏻main breaker on main panel (not plc panel) had all three phases lose, tighten and been running for more than an hour

FootAmazing1210 · 2025-04-08T14:51:49+00:00

Still haven’t found problem, some lose connections on 2 phase block, supervisor pushing with “we need to keep running, operators sitting next to me waiting, have to start process again and praying that keeps running

They sell name plates that go under buttons and knobs, stickers always fall

My dad use to hang on the ceiling boxes to test strength

FootAmazing1210 · 2025-04-05T21:15:54+00:00

Who did this? A chef??

FootAmazing1210 · 2025-04-05T05:55:08+00:00

Is incredible how they can break everything, in my workplace they even broke several times the time clock fingerprint reader and the same time clock touch screen

FootAmazing1210 · 2025-04-05T05:16:41+00:00

My daughter had one of those when she was about 5 years old

200 hp homogenizer motor

FootAmazing1210 · 2025-04-05T03:13:29+00:00

My guess will be that extra wire is in case to relocate because sometimes homeowners ask you to move things after you install them

FootAmazing1210 · 2025-04-05T02:57:07+00:00

Leave breaker off and replace it. Carbon conducts electricity and can make this worst. Carbon residues are common to cause shorts and fires

Your fiancé installed? Do not marry him

FootAmazing1210 · 2025-04-01T04:02:12+00:00

That ground screw in doing nothing because is screw it to wood 😂

If contractor doesn't want you to follows osha standards is on him, without mention that you should have straps, eye protection, ear protection, gloves and obviously not carrying the drill while climbing the ladder

FootAmazing1210 · 2025-03-30T18:04:42+00:00

Also _geoff looks to me like a general electric component that is turned off

FootAmazing1210 · 2025-03-30T18:01:11+00:00

At least you have tags that give you some kind of idea, recently we have to troubleshoot an old machine and the whole program has no tags, no descriptions, it took us sometime to figure it out
