[QUOTE="Martin , post: 801800, member: 65636"] Nope, the story is true, I don't know how this guy got this job since I had to even show him in one of the MCP's which wires were hot and which were ground. The idiot even connected up an E-STOP device with a red wire on one end of the contact and a white on the other. Just seems the union should have sent him to some electrical training school before turning him loose on a job such as this with 480vac panels. While doin a job in Miami, I had 4 electricians and we needed them to connect 8 wires between two MCP's.....the wires were already pulled, they just needed to land them. I gave them a sketch on which wire went where........a 45 min job tops.....it took them over a day to complete the connections. I could have done it myself, but due to "union rules", I wasn't allowed in the panels. The unions west of the Mississippi seemed easier to work with, most didn't mind us helping with wiring and mods to the panels, but the ones east was always a battle on what we could or couldn't touch even though it was our system and we were trained in what we did. For the amount of work that needed to be done, we didn't take away their work and in most cases asked for more workers and paid their overtime to get the job completed ontime. [/QUOTE]
