I remember one time I was at a large industrial site working on a cabinet cooler (dedicated air conditioning for large electrical cabinets) on a motor drive cabinet which was was running 480V 3 phase with feeder wires the size of my thumb when their safety guy walked by and saw me poking at the cooler fan with a screwdriver. The conversation went something like this.

Safety guy looking rather concerned: "What are you doing?"

Me: "Cabinet is getting warm because the cooler quit. The fan motor isn't running so I'm trying to give it a bump start with a screwdriver to see if the motor is siezed. Gotta do it this way because otherwise I have to pull the whole cooler off the cabinet to access it properly."

Safety: "You know those wires there are 480V right?"

Me: "Yup."

Safety: "You know those will kill you if you touch them right?"

Me: "That's why I'm not touching them."

Ah, the Buddhist ground. Untethered from all earthly matters.

Also occasionally self-immolates.

Solid shitpost. I'm angry just looking at it. Someone, anyone fight me!

It's a low current warning. It means the system needs more amps!

You gotta press it really hard to reset it but be careful because buttons that haven't been pressed in a long time are usually very cold

It's the service light. You need to call an electrician.

It just means the system is active. You can just ignore it.

It's cherry flavored!

I can smell this room.

It means that your fuse is still working for at least a couple more minutes

That's the cigarette lighter

Slather it in butter ... then fry an egg on top ... keep cooking eggs and start up a small breakfast place and call it the 'Ground Nut Breakfast Joint'

Hey everyone, I am a layman(uneducated in this field) in these matters. How does one make this happen?

Honest question.

Would touching it burn you, electrocute you, or both?

That nut is working overtime.

It's an emergency stop button and you need to press it NOW

Cherry flavour

It's just red paint, the electrician just marked the connection, you can clean it up now

It's not supposed to do that.

Says “touch me, you know you’re curious”.

Is your nut red and hot to the touch? Could be an STI, time to see the doctor.

that's a self-indicating manifold adjuster! get that over to !deltahunters@feddit.nu

Self cleaning cycle.

Its the piss light. You're supposed to piss on it.

It's ready to eat.

I will touch it to determine the temperature

Your bill's gonna cost a bit this month

That's the system on light before the days of light bulbs. Quite the vintage set up you got there.

Ground lug nut and bolt: I'm tired boss

It’s fine, the smoke makes the electrons flow faster

Your earworm of the day:
The Heat Is On. 🔥

You're welcome! 😀👍

Its about to let the smoke out.

well you found the fuse

Does means? I thinks I'ms gettings as strokes

If you look very carefully, there's four, maybe five pxels between the n in on and the m in my that aren't a holy shit moment.
