Cornrr taped and center taped deltas.

Incompetence.....

Just remember we don't use any of these systems over here! We don't have centre-tapped delta, wild legs or any such thing, so an electrician isn't incompetent not to know about them, just unfamiliar with overseas practice. Are you familiar with the crossed-ends test procedure for a ring-final?

Thr line gets drawn as far as ur knowledge is capable of reaching which seems to a a general basic knowledge of nothing pertient nor applicably. Why don't u electricians all get together and discuss the line of professionalism you seem to lack... there's a reason why the industry is full of innept bulb changers...

Your attitude stinks ...you are correct the industry is full of inept bulb changers it has been for yrs but Tony the guy you attacked is not one of them and is a very knowledgeable guy who has a lot to offer the forum and he'd be the first one on here I'd recommend having a chat to if you have Tx or Motor issues as he's spanned most his life in that field....

He directed you the section to look up in the NEC code, these are not cheap to purchase so why should he reel off the regulations for free.... I suggest you pick the toys up you threw out of the pram and try starting again .... coming on the forum and slagging off members will see you banned you came for help here so don't throw it back in our faces when you are given it, just because it means you will have to do some searching yourself and its not as direct answer as you wanted is no reason to attack members of the forum ....

Hope you get this post before your banned ...rant over:veryangry2:

In other words, the fact that Tony knows about this kind of hookup at all is testament to his wide-ranging knowledge and experience. I would hesitate to call him a bulb-changer although I suspect he could make quite a good job of that too

I don't think the OP called him a bulb changer.

Btw electrician... corner grounded deltas don't have a wild leg.... tht would be a center taped delta..... to whoever posted earlier

It was me.
You are quite correct.
You didn't mention a centre tapped winding.
But some installations do.

Anyway, take heed of my point about the different frequencies.

I don't think the OP called him a bulb changer.

He called all electricians bulb changers

I think he is a bored HVAC tech that is recovering at home because of the injuries sustained on site

 

[Besoeker]

So am I, I'll give him a warm welcome there as well. Not that I think he would last long.

What are you called on the MH forum if you don't mind saying?

The joys of the wonderful American distribution system.

For “wonderful” read total lash up, it has to be one of the most dangerous systems in the world.

I’ve only ever got my hands on a centre grounded 480V system once. Can’t say I was too impressed with it and was trying to get it to comply with UK standards.
I gave up with that idea and phoned a company I used to work for and borrowed a 150KVA 433/500V Yyn transformer for a week. Fortunately they were one of our suppliers and happily lent it to us.

It was an odd beast I’d had made about 25 years before when changing over supplies to a plant. The secondary could be either voltage, the tappings gave it a 10% voltage adjustment.

They were great when I was doing some digging in to the history of our trade.

if he's a HVAC tech, then he should be able to chill out.:6:

Might be difficult I think he's full of hot air

As in the thread title perhaps?
Cornrr taped and center taped deltas

 

[Lucien Nunes]

It could be taped without being tapped. Or maybe the tapping is taped. Take a tip: you can't top a well taped tapping.

Sorry I'm bored with my invoicing...

I'll record that for future use.............:smilewinkgrin:

 

[Marvo]

The funny thing is real hvac techs can easily transition to electrical work...... i know what problem and its alrdy been fixed to code i electricians are dumber than a box of rocks light bulb changers.... get a life better yet get a technical trade tht actually requires analytical skill...

Okay, on that note thread closed.
