Re: pic: 1501's shiney bot
There is a price to pay for that panel.....
pretty = weight
boy did we really shoot that in the foot with that panel this year. I thought our mechanical team was going to hang us....
I am a controls engineer, and I thought it would be a good idea to show the students how industrial panels are built....now, I am not so sure because of the weight....but I am glad you liked it. I hoped I passed off some knowledge to the electrical team, they wired and built it all by themselves. I am so proud of them. It's complete with NFPA 79, NEC 2002 rules and regulations, as well as a full set of documented electrical drawing package, designed in AutoCad Electrical 2004. It's even got pretty wire labels too...
