and eating them
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
The off button to do nothing
And the on button to turn off the lamp while held down
ew... fault through equip is bad joo joo...
It simulated a cut wire
But it caused something similar to if the neutral wire of a house was cut
Just all sorts of wacky behavior
I can’t wait until we ration
Amazing stuff
did it? cut wire at what current rating?
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
ah, guess you are only dealing with WYE connections
Triphase
220v triphase thing
I DEMAND A 2ND REFERDUM
Fault in the control circuit
220 Delta vs 220 Wye
It was a motor starter simulator
Both are triple phase
one uses 3 wires not 4
It switched from triangle to star connection
4
It had an earth and 3 phases
ah yeah, that is what so me call it; triangle or star
did this turn into an EE course?
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.
lol
I fucking punched the desk when I figured out the exact wire that was supposedly cut
It was so satisfying
lol yeah, i've had that at home actually
One yr during a storm, I lost the neutral line running from the pole to the house.
Sadly, it wsn't the ONLY wire running from the house to the pole as my cable modem conductor was also hung that way
