Spleen venting... I always hated—
24V engine-control and 480V {voltmeter/freqmeter} wiring mixed on control-panel doors and every lead white.
Day tanks, pumps and assorted controls and alarms
480Y stators where the installer “forgot” the neutral connection,
or adding a neutral-ground connection when building had resistance-grounded service
Teardown from rotor-diode failures causing/caused by armature problems
Never a simple, reliable welding-connector disconnect on start-battery leads
All-too-short 480V crankcase-heater life versus 208V
Very expensive but still sleazy transfer-switch controls
Maddening noise during engine runs that cut though all forms of hearing protection
Sniveling building personnel regardless of scheduled test date,
but screaming bloody murder in a start failure
