Re: Liability & responsibility of electrician?

Let the Record show that Gunner Asch on or about Sun, 05 Jul 2009 22:25:38 -0700 did write/type or cause to appear in rec.crafts.metalworking the following:

It's the plug which matters, all the rest is secondary.

Crud, I've working in buildings which had been designated "temporary" structures some thirty years before.

- pyotr filipivich We will drink no whiskey before its nine. It's eight fifty eight. Close enough!

Oh really ? Lets see, if that was single phase it would be ~20 amps at 240. big deal. 3 phase, 20 / sqrt(3) = ~ 12 amps on the legs.

these are just off the top of my head still! Big deal!.

You're still in the dark.

Well then, the people you know aren't really electricians.

There's a lot more to the trade than stapling some Romex into a residence.

Chuckle!

You appear to call them the way you see them. Excellent eyesight, I see!

Damned shame someone doesn't pay you for your thoughts. Reminds me of what I like to say about young people that know it all-----if you could buy them for what they're worth, and sell them for what they *think* they're worth, you'd achieve instant wealth.

You think you have more on the ball.

I'm sure you don't have.

Smart people can converse without using their entire vocabulary, as you've just done. I've known some that can actually put together a string of words without vulgarity-----a task that seems to evade you.

You want readers to think of you as something more than a loser?

Quit acting like one.

You're about a goddamnedretard for announcing your filter file edit sessions in Usenet, as if anyone here gives a fatflyingfuck what you read.

You are pathetic. The lack of punctuation alone indicates that fact.

Yes, it could be, but we're talking about industrial machinery, generally powered by three phase. I have serious doubts that a single phase CNC would contain a $4,000 board when you can buy the machines for that amount of money.

I'm convinced the wiring in question is three phase. The only remaining question is whether it's delta or wye. Considering wye reads 208 volts leg to leg, I'm pretty sure its delta. You?

Harold

He is a retarded troll, and he deliberately refrains from treating the crap he posts at the of the crap he posts as a sig.

To be more specific: hyphen, hyphen, space, newline.

The point is that a measurement of 245V, in and of itself, is not proof of

3-phase delta service. I measure 243V between the two legs of my residential service, and I'm quite sure that it's only single-phase.

What is the voltage at the old location? If it is 240 then there is no issue with anything the electrician did...

How ever, it is most likely originating from a 3 phase source via a single phase xformer.

What's that got to do with the price of oats in China?

I don't know about oats, but I hear the price of rice is up!

I figured that you were talking through your ass again.

I'm concerned that the system engineer (was one) didn't know what they were doing - no internal protection - or was the customer to cheap and didn't buy an option.

I hate that kind of option - to lower the price and risk failures.

Power lines have gone from 200 to 245 in my lifetime and will likely continue to inch up.

Remember 100v and then 107 and 110 and 115 and 120 and 125 and 130...

Pushing more power with the same cables - requires higher voltages.

Mart>> >>

We have never gone above 120 anywhere in the lower 48 that I remember.

Please refrain from top posting.

I ALWAYS top post. Keeps from having to read the drivel.

But as for line voltage, I monitor my voltage with an accurate digital meter. floats around 123 to 125 except during hot summer afternoons when it sags appreciably.

As for the sag, the guys > >
