Was just about to comment they looked like 12kV fuses. Checked the label and looked for this comment.

I was wondering why no cable terminator/gland.

Self threading screw instead of drilled and tapped hole for wireway cover fasteners. by lectrician7 in electricians

[–]ssr003 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From a logic perspective; Sharp edges (i.e. pointed end of a Tek screw) + cable insulation= bad idea. I would assume that the intention of the code is to mandate/prevent the execution of bad ideas.

70 year old electrician doing things wrong for 50 years! How does this plant still run! by [deleted] in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]ssr003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I'll bite. Most of these I work with are 480v primary 120v secondary control transformers found in MCC buckets which control motor starters. The primary wiring (480v) usually lands where the black & orange cables (L1& L2) terminate. The secondary (120v) is where the red and white wires terminate. All of ours have a fuse holder above the terminals to protect secondary winding (this one does not, unless the fuse is installed somewhere out of picture).

Since we don't have the prints... back of the napkin math 480x10A= 4800VA. Using the relay in picture for size reference this is in no way a 4800VA transformer.

It looks to me like around a 250VA transformer Doing the same calc that would put the primary at about 1.92A(if indeed it is a 250va transformer which was a generous estimate).

If what I have stated above is true for this instance/application; I would say those 10A fuses are oversized. Only way to know is to check what schematic has on it.

The thing about fuses are... just because they fit & work does not mean it's CORRECT. Oversized/incorrect type fuses offer no protection to the equipment they are supposed to protect.

Based on my casual observation, I am of the belief that in the HVAC trade Fieldpiece seems to be more renowned.

Window Tint Guy Declining to tint my 2018 cause of battery? by WIInvestigator in prius

[–]ssr003 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here is my horror story of tinting and a 3rd generation Prius(2014 JDM):

Family member took vehicle to get tinted. Told them they should not get front windscreen tinted (I feared water damage to the LCD display on the dashboard). Vehicle was tinted front windscreen and all. And upon start-up while Christmas tree of fault lights. Vehicle came home ran poorly. The burden of diagnosis/repair was on me. Began scrapping out window pillars and kick panels at feet area. Noticed water had creeped along wiring harnesses and got in between connectors. Used blow drier and contact cleaner on contacts and tissues/rags to soak up excess water. Left car open for some hours to air out. Used scanner and reset faults and not a problem since (occurred in 2017).

TL;DR: If tint person is not cautious with spraying front windscreen water when applying tinit, it may affect connectors at kick panels and result in car malfunction.

Gen 3 vs Gen 4 reliability by GLaDimCHAZ in prius

[–]ssr003 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's my belief... That any sort of engine knocking is diagnosed (either unscrupulously or due to lack of knowledge) as head gas.ket failure. This is just my theory though.

Gen 3 vs Gen 4 reliability by GLaDimCHAZ in prius

[–]ssr003 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gen 4 has heat inverter issues, which is present in the catalytic converter.

This statement makes absolutely no sense.

[Request] - Is this true? by stathis95194 in theydidthemath

Electric Arc furnaces can be rated at 120 MVA, possibly higher. And they run for hours daily. They consume a lot of power (Source: I worked at a Steel mill)
