Ever had one of those days when nothing goes right? Well I had one of them days today! All i was doing was changing a 3 phase fan motor! Get to the job, sign in, fill out work permits ect! Get the ductwork off and fit the motor! Take off the front of the isolator...full of water, new isolator needed... Existing cable is in piro. Merger the piro :( no good!Have to change the cable! Could I find any 4 core heat resistant cable? Nope! End up finding some tri cable in the back of the van and some flexi conduit! Sorted! Connect up motor and went to turn on Fuse blown... :( Replace fuse! Turned on supply! Fan runs in the correct direction! Put ductwork back together turn on! God awful noise. I take off ducting and hood! After a bit of head scratching i notice the New motor is slightly different size! Causing the Impella to catch on the casing! By this time it was dark and site was kicking us off thereof! Too top it all off.. I dropped and cracked my ipad! :( anyone had a good day?
 
I wish my day got that far, didn't even make it to the first day of my new job as the car packed in not 2 miles into the journey :mad:
