A few comments: That is a big vise You need to cap the 2" upright pipes holding your plywood before they fill up with water. Entertaining and informative as usual
Re the arcing video: Looked like the ceiling cut into a cable or the cable was pinched by the ceiling and finally failed. That looked to be just a cover over the cable, not a true conduit. It was also likely to be 240v as well. Arcing faults will generally fail to trip standard breakers as the current is pulsing and not sustained at a high enough level to trigger a thermal trip mechanism. Some magnetic trip breakers (SqD in particular) can sometimes trip on these types of faults, but most won't. As for the water valve, that stem on the bottom right on the smaller valve device is how you adjust the outlet pressure.
@@joes2085 very observant as always Joe. I was mistaken by saying the fault was a solid red light. If you look at the video, it was 2 blinks from the beginning. This actually makes way more sense than there being 2 different faults.
While wirking at a large plant we had a lazy chief electrician who never left enough wire in boxes, control panels etc. I pulled wire for a total of a dozen Asco water solenoids & six bell & gosett circulating pumps. Told him not to make any connections after I was called for a few service calls. He cut the wire extra short where you could not remove the 120 volt coil off solenoid or move the motor back a few inches to 12:15 replace couplings. Blow up & told him & the bosses that never call me when they had to be worked on. I was the only sparky on second shift and when they called me for them made sure to keep busy until shift was over and left it for him. Had a guy who was great at drawing and he made me several drawings of a hammer & a rubber. Sign stated that if he ( chief electrican ) could not fix anything with his hammer to just screw it Put a poster on his desk & car "Hammer & Ruber electrical work ".
@@Electchickn Same lazy guy cut wires too short in a 24 by 36" hinged panel that was filled with 480 volt fuses for controls and motors. Had to pull thick bundle of wires an inch to replace a fuse. Of course facilities boss stuck up for such crap work . I refused to remove a bad 480 volt fuse unless I secured power from several three pole circuit breakers and have a second guy on another 8' stepladder pulling on tight wire bundle to reach fuses. Same lazy guy almost got other electricians electrocuted when he did not label a large old panel that he installed a 480 & several 120 volt circuits in a panel that for years only had a single 240 volt three phase feed. Of course the other panels were over a hundred feet in opposite direction. I at least wanted to install three disconnect switches next to panel to easily secure & LOTO power but was denied.

@@joes2085 where in the video do you mean? And yes very good, we put caps on today… stay tuned for next vid
I just rewatched
I was wrong on the pipe wrench. Edit made

On the VFD. Could the steady red LED indicate a "stop" command? It only stayed illuminated a few seconds.
The blinking was definitely a Trouble Code
