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

220

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

The reason that wire being cut caused all the issues was that it allowed the lamp's phase to act as a latch for the relay that kept the lamp turned on, the wire layout caused the faulty latch to bypass the off button, and pressing the on button connected the same phase on both pins of the lamp, turning it off. @ManAnimal

With no neutral, return current had to go SOMEWHERE

melted the HELL out of that tiny coax cable in about 1/2 a second
