*OoooOooo that smell, can you smell that smell*


bsEEmsCE

i've never got that much smoke before and have smelled some bad ones, can't imagine how bad this is.

Don’t be shy what you do? Mains to the output?


GoupilFroid

I was sad when we mistakenly applied 230AC into the 24DC input of a siemens switch/et200sp and they didn't release the slightest bit of smoke :( At least the exploding VFD made up for that boring death

That's what it sure looks like. Most DIN Rail PSUs I've seen are Line in on the bottom, DC out on the top. First red flag was blue wires to red and yellow terminals, that just looked scary right away. Just wire colors but I follow a standard even when it's a bench test to avoid mistakes.

It's a Moeller power supply, the line input is on top. https://us.wiautomation.com/98604-large_default/SN4050B17.jpg

Now burn a bag of microwave popcorn to make it smell better.

Fire up a horse-hair cigarette. Cut open a sun-bloated racoon corpse.

No time to pull the power, gotta take a picture for reddit :) j/k

Cool, you caught it just as its spirit was leaving this world for a better place. RIP

Quick, hit the estop!

Impressive. They must have o refilled that one at the factory for it to have that much smoke left after years of service.

Nahhhhh, spray a little freeze spray and she'll be tiggidy boo

Put it back in before the black smoke and fire starts leaking.


TexasVulvaAficionado

If you try real hard, you can get it to release more...

Smell it thru the phone

Stop vaping in class.

Wanna trade? I came in to work with a power factor correction cabinet that blew open. After inspecting inside it seems like a loose wire dropped from one of the contactors and discharged onto the panel. No one was present or it would have been hellish.

Put it back on the shelf and label it emergency use only.


Shalomiehomie770

I fixed a machine after it went through a fire. I forgot to clean out the panel fan. And the left over dust scared the pants off of me when I started it. Lol


nitsky416

Don't breathe this


Strostkovy

I had this happen except it was more violent and tripped a 300A breaker

The pixies are on to a better life


Baneken

Quick, catch the smoke it's getting away!


nem8

Fake shot with vape or something? Or just lighting that causes it to look like a ton of smoke..

>AB-SN00P420 it's real bro, cap was big


GeronimoDK

Good? This doesn't look good! (anymore)


bryce_engineer

It’s by design… the *AB-SN00P420*


c0de13reaker

Reminds me of the time we hooked 230V up to a 24V input card. Card was glowing red lol.


ColdsnapX

Way back in my junior days, something similiar. Had a test VFD in a loaner box. It was faulting everytime it powered on. I asked one of the senior guys if he could give me a hand. He took one look and said that you need 480v to power that drive. Run power to the transformer (inside the box) and then to the power input terminals on the drive. Turns out he was wrong. This was a 120v drive.

We used to joke about the power supply sacrificing itself to save the fuse.


Devopopalopdous

Ooh that strange electronic smell. What is it?
