Can You Spot The Problem?

Just for reference-

Our neutrals are white.

Black, red and blue are the 3 phases in a "non 3 phase" 240 system, if you know what I mean,

OK, obviously non-conforming to the International colour codes.
When Red (no Brown) is present, Black is Neutral.
When a Brown is present (no red) Blue becomes Neutral.
3 Phase is either - Red, White, Blue OR Brown, Black Grey....with either green or Green/Yellow as Earth.

I worked on a Chinese machine last week - Black was Live, Green was Neutral, and Neutral was Yellow needless to say, I have done a complete re-wire.

Time to fix these two stupid fuses that keep blowing all the time, once and for all!

Obviously ran out of nails.

We're getting lazy over here, soft addle brains are running rampant.

'kay, this reminds me of a job I did in 90 while working a holiday display outfit....Santa's Little Helpers @ South gate shopping center in Tucson. Had a 9 foot diameter rebar framed wreath(heavy)to hang from parapet over an entrance way. We had a flatbed Ford & a bucket lift from a news van that we clamped to the bed. Extended the bucket all the way, then bailing wired a fully extended extension ladder to the bucket. Then I had to climb the whole mess with wreath on my back. At the top I then had to feed the suspension cables attached to top of wreath over the parapet to the guy on the back side so He could secure them to the roof. Once cables were attached, then I backed slowly down ladder & out from under wreath so that wreath was left laying on the ladder. Once I got down, We slowly dropped the bucket, allowing extension ladder to slide down parapet wall until the cables took tension, kept lowering rig until wreath slid off top of ladder & into place against the parapet wall, then secured the lower cables to the overhang over the entrance. A day in the life.

I have a AirCat 1150 its extremely powerful, but i dont use it every day either so i have no idea how it would hold up under everyday use.

Anyone ever work on a bomag roller? 98% of its wiring is white with little dots or dashs or both when wiring melts together it's a pain new harness is over $15000 too

Our 3 phase (277) is brown, orange, and yellow- B/O/Y.

 

[Bladecutter]

Try aircraft wiring. Not enough colors for for color coding, so every wire has to be tagged every few feet. Even a light plane has miles of wire.

 

[bobtile]

That's the sort of crap job or modification you expect from a Tiler....or a lazy builder.
@bobtile ....is this your workmanship?

North America is different than most other countries we are 60HZ not 50HZ and we run household power at 230 volts with a neutral with most things 115volts commercial power 208 or 575 volt Canada and 208 or 460 USA
so we are different

Does the red nut mean it's the positive terminal ?

How about the guy in flip flops?!
How do I end up with a Twitter hash tag when I've never been there.? facebook crap? I put force stops on the fb app in my phone & the son of a bitch turns itself back on within 15 mins. I'd like to strangle zuckerburg & his PC minions.
