What i come across quite often ( As promised Tony i took a few pics)

This is a control panel for a cutter machine apparently its been like this years with no cover and runs 4 x 400v motors ... the mechanical side is just as bad but believe this give the state of the machine the best reflection on this forum.

.

Now does that untidy domestic board look that bad after all

Now I deal with a lot of panels like this. I think that tops them, never had floating contactors to deal with haha.

I used to swap a lot of large panels out and only come across one with bits hanging off the back of the door, kept getting belts all day!

At least your has some sense of order and i promise i havent ragged it out a bit for effect that is as i found it ... im fitting a panel i built tomoz so will put a before and after set -up but as for functional this panel did while it worked do as it was intended but lacked basics like O/L protection on motors or fully functional e-stop system.

I always wish I had taken photos through my early working years but for some reason you don't..

Did find this though a while back and if you scroll down to the last picture, all the panels you see we're my panels, sadly closed but never mind
