[Ste69]

GMES......that work looks really interesting...i used to do machine builds and refurbs when i was an apprentice (at the time i couldnt wait to get out and get ****ed) now looking back it was really interseting stuff.

is this your main job? i.e building generators or are you a maintenance engineer?

cheers

Yes mate, do quite a bit of machinery, Tyre shredders, packaging machines, industrial ovens and furnaces + much more which means I provide a Breakdown service to all my regular customers, there are a few that run 24/7 but I am usually safe after about 10pm.
Regarding years I have been at it for about 15 years now, so not as long as some of the old boys on here.

I ripped out a ton of that very same busbar a month or so back, skipped the lot, tap offs the lot, if I'd have known you could
Have had em

Not that I ever get to work on any of it but we have a lot of old square d busbar and tap offs in our place

Also square D switchgear but that's about to be replaced by the new kit in front of it

Not sure if they will splash out on some new tow rope as well

1st time I've posted pics with tapatalk so not sure they will work[emoji3]

Typical that mate, it just cost the customer 2500.00 in replacement Canalis busbar but luckily the old tap offs were compatible.

I cut up and slung 25ish lengths and 15 or so tap offs
