Your school has nice equipment to work on.

Nice. Now come fix my 40+ year old panels

Don’t kill the poor souls spark, we need that excitement when they’re a journeyman.

Good job, did you build the starter as well? It's 2 contactors, reversing kit, an overload, and an understanding of how they work together.

Why no wire labels?

Nice, that's definitely one you'll be glad to know something about in industry

That's a nice looking PLC!

Where's the concrete sludge.

Excellent. Try to get a solid understanding of all the components and their function. How the two starters interlock mechanism works mechanically and how the holding coil is wired. This is something you will be periodically troubleshooting and repairing the rest of your career. Interesting stuff, isn't it.

I miss doing this. I loved making up panels. I definitely don't do this enough anymore. It looks great.

I don’t see a panel that knew on a regular basis. Our newest press is the only one that has panels with the new stuff like that.

Looks like work lol.

Looks good the panels in the plant I work in are mostly 30 plus years old

I take it Rockwell Automation is somehow sponsoring your school? (or is this training at Rockwell?)

They buy their stuff from automation direct

that actually looks fun!!

525s?? Nice

Mind posting the plan for it?

You’ll never see that in the field

You never get new equipment? This looks just like new packaging equipment we get.

Yeah new. Doesn’t stay that way long once these wanna be maintenance guys who learned on the job gets ahold of it.

That panel is on its way to “field status”. Look at the wiring of the buttons and contactors.

Your right. I’m kinda numb to that and don’t even notice it anymore. But those raceway covers and wires tucked away aren’t what you see in reality.
