**Show Us Your Installs!!!**

[Knobhead]

I'll sort mine out tomorrow. I'm knackered at this time in the morning!

PS it gets interesting if you convert it to Kg force

That would explain why cables blow themselves to pieces.
It's all starting to make sense now!

Many factors involved, depends on the cable size, (they also have a KA/s withhold rating too) length of cable etc. More chance on a short length of cable, say between TX and Main Switchboard, than on a long run (depending where the fault occurs), as the cable will act as resistance/impedance, limiting the fault current the transformer can deliver into the fault...

As i say too many factors involved that can/will influence each other, to pick-up on just one aspect and predict what will happen under a given fault condition.
Safe to say, any fault that involves the full fault current of a transformer, will always be catastrophic, ...and expensive!! lol!!

Engineer 54 you are obviously very knowledgeable but I've never seen you post any pics of your work up, come on I think it's time to show us lol

I can see some material requisitions, snagging sheets and emails coming our way lol

Not sure what I will get but I'm pretty sure there won't be a plastic tie wrap in sight and I'm pretty sure he will be hugging and earth rod in one of the pics

Should have asked a couple of weeks ago. Not that i have much in the way of past project photo's anyway!! What i do have are on the PC, and it's too late getting that out of mothballs now, as i'm off flying back tomorrow!! So you'll have to wait till the summer now!! lol!!

here he is

Is this a commercial unit for lighting displays?

Rewire sorting this mess out. Will post drawings and other stuff gradually as I do them

 

[Gage]

Rough and missing terminal numbers, just rough copies before a proper computer drawing neat and standardised. Pretty basic circuit as you can see but I thought I'd share

This is just a control panel for a Plasma Nitrider. The complicated side of this machine is all in an Electronic Circuit (which I have the drawings for if anyone is interested) it's packed full of inverters and rectifiers. The more complicated stuff comes with the Arc Detection parameters. My company had a Romanian Physicist custom make it for us, he apparently works on the LHC now lol.

 

[Gage]

Just realised the power circuit is missing the contactors/stop start. Wasn't thinking straight LOL

You may find the missing bits on Google :seeya:

Sorry Kid.

Couldn't help myself.

Would've been rude not to! Haha

I know some of you speed freaks would have done this in 40 minutes but it took me a couple of days.

nice work matey

 

[CSEE]

Looking Good there!! Have you ever considering installing Slotted Panel Trunking to inside of the DB instead of cable ties around the cabling?? I always do this and think it looks neat, and a lot easier if need to trace cables out at a later date.
Not a critisism just some of my knowledge and learnings from over time.

Time well spent kid.

 

[DL electrician]

Anyone else used M2??

Anyone used any M2 Gear?

Apparently MK now refuse to stock any CEF's!!

 

[dan86]

I've used M2 stuff. customer recently supplied a few metal clad sockets to be fitted at their farm.

Just a quick update, getting there, just doing bits and bobs when I can. Not as pretty as I'd like lol but getting rushed to do things, have to show progress while dealing with other breakdowns and what not. Also I duno what's happening with my photos lol
