I have seen wireing like that in some manufactoring plants in the good old U.S A.
It becomes a nightmare when your the one who has to strighten it all out and clean it up. been there and done that. |

Those are nightmeres to fix. For one, I would hate to administrate anything that even vaguely resembles those images

Like bailey, I've seen industrial panels with old relays, timers, starters and other items that look like some of those rat's nests when you open the door. To add to the fun, the original wiring schematic/ladder diagram will be in the pocket of the door and have pencil or pen lines drawn all over it. All the wires pulled out of the channel and half the labels are missing. And of course all the new wiring is unmarked!

Looking at those utility posts just makes me cringe -- I wonder how many people die trying to rig up something like that.

Well, if you look on the bright side, there are probably so many redundant connections on that utility pole that having 15 of them arbitrarily snap off wouldn't do anything at all...

Some of the overseas high voltage wiring is truly spooky.

They better check to make sure no one has fallen in some of those places and gotten trapped.

*shudders* reminds me of working on freightliners were all the wires are yellow and are numbered but all the numbers are always worn off .

Reminds me of some old telephone exchanges I have worked in where every pair of wires is red with a white trace and white with a red trace, there are twenty to thirty thousand subscriber lines and they go from the exchange side of the frame to the distribution side of the frame with not an identifying number in sight.
You have one of those subscriber lines out of service and you have to trace it.... easy.

been to enough customer sites to see that, in many cases, that is the norm, not the exception.

How do you fix this with minimal impact to the business that it serves? and THAT question is why starting from day 1, it is vital that you adhere to good solid practices in network design, address assignments, cable planning and cable management. you can quite easily end up with a disaster like that and be caught behind the 8 ball if you try and fix it.... |

When the power to a large chunk of Queens disappeared last summer, and it took Con Ed nearly 3 weeks to get everything back up and running, there was a full investigation.
The thing that I remember most was the absolute snarl of wiring. Con Ed had been jury-rigging repairs for years and when they finally had to figure out what was going wrong and repair it they couldn't tell where to begin. There were some photos of wiring that should have made mairving's collection. Last edited by pam123; 04-12-2007 at 09:30 AM. |
