Ha haaa, as someone who has worked on some of the largest industrial applications in the country, glad to see that even the most advanced scientific cutting edge technology like this is still installed by electricians yolo’ing it. After working on a launch pad for space rockets, everything everywhere is just put together fuck all. Steel mills are especially bad, you have a mix of absolutely ancient technology mixed with decades of repairs and changes and new equipment that is heavily regulated and over engineered and inspectors all trying to meet current codes while mixing old with new, and if it’s old good luck with any semblance of updated drawings. A “refurbished” panel is always a trip as they basically just keep the enclosure and gut it and install new shit and maybe keep a few big important components but then it’s a “repair” and not a new installation.

It’s amazing how the world works sometimes
