Ever have one of those weeks?
I have been designing this motor control center for weeks now and the customer called at the beginning of the week to tell me he wants to have the line power at 240 volts instead of the 480 that they originally spec'd out. So I started working on canceling the 45kva 3 phase 480v transformer and changing it to 240/480 line- 240/120 load. It's a friggin' 1500 dollar transformer. He said they are going to go to 480 in a few years. Going back and forth between the customer and the manufacturer was a pain in the ass, and I worked on that crap all day yesterday and a bit the day before.
This morning I sent the new order in and 5 minutes later the customer calls and says he found some single phase heaters so we can go with a single phase transformer instead of the 3 phase. Now I have to re-engineer the schematics and panel layouts and resize all the components. What a pain in the ass.
OK, maybe I have had worse days, and I'm sure many of you have too... but this has been a shitty week at work.
Sorry about the rant, but I had to get it out. It doesn't seem that bad while writing it, but it sure sucked while doing it..lol.
Done with that rant and getting ready for the weekend....I need a drink.
Have a good weekend people.
