and eating them

2019-08-08 17:15:15 UTC  

The most complex one to diagnose was a faulty wire that caysed the two phases to connect in series through the components @ManAnimal

just bit communist

Which caused the indicator lamp to act as a latch

2019-08-08 17:15:39 UTC  

The off button to do nothing

2019-08-08 17:15:48 UTC  

And the on button to turn off the lamp while held down

2019-08-08 17:15:58 UTC  

ew... fault through equip is bad joo joo...

2019-08-08 17:16:09 UTC  

It simulated a cut wire

2019-08-08 17:16:25 UTC  

But it caused something similar to if the neutral wire of a house was cut

2019-08-08 17:16:32 UTC  

Just all sorts of wacky behavior

2019-08-08 17:16:33 UTC  

I can’t wait until we ration

2019-08-08 17:16:38 UTC  

Amazing stuff

2019-08-08 17:16:39 UTC  

did it? cut wire at what current rating?

2019-08-08 17:16:47 UTC  

The professor had to give us a hint with the neutral wire analogy

When I figured it out I slammed the desk with my eureka moment

2019-08-08 17:17:13 UTC  

ah, guess you are only dealing with WYE connections

2019-08-08 17:17:21 UTC  

Triphase

2019-08-08 17:17:24 UTC  

220

2019-08-08 17:17:30 UTC  

220v triphase thing

2019-08-08 17:17:32 UTC  

I DEMAND A 2ND REFERDUM

2019-08-08 17:17:36 UTC  

Fault in the control circuit

2019-08-08 17:17:37 UTC  

220 Delta vs 220 Wye

2019-08-08 17:17:59 UTC  

It was a motor starter simulator

2019-08-08 17:18:00 UTC  

Both are triple phase

2019-08-08 17:18:08 UTC  

one uses 3 wires not 4

2019-08-08 17:18:09 UTC  

It switched from triangle to star connection

2019-08-08 17:18:16 UTC  

4

2019-08-08 17:18:31 UTC  

It had an earth and 3 phases

2019-08-08 17:18:35 UTC  

ah yeah, that is what so me call it; triangle or star

2019-08-08 17:18:37 UTC  

did this turn into an EE course?

2019-08-08 17:19:54 UTC  

yes. Please calculate the ground fault current if a 1.4KV XFMR shorts the seconday windings with a sufficently large conductor as to exceed the per unit XFMR rating.

2019-08-08 17:20:10 UTC  

lol

2019-08-08 17:20:31 UTC  

I fucking punched the desk when I figured out the exact wire that was supposedly cut

2019-08-08 17:20:51 UTC  

It was so satisfying

2019-08-08 17:21:08 UTC  

lol yeah, i've had that at home actually

2019-08-08 17:21:30 UTC  

One yr during a storm, I lost the neutral line running from the pole to the house.

2019-08-08 17:22:04 UTC  

Sadly, it wsn't the ONLY wire running from the house to the pole as my cable modem conductor was also hung that way
