OK, just inspected an interesting panel. I’ll admit, I was lost.

Sure isn’t your “standard” household service panel icon_biggrin.gif Do you have any more pictures? I sure would like to see it from a better angle.

Your right! It is not a typical inspection. We were checking on progress of construction. I was till lost on what I was looking at.

I guess we don’t know for sure without knowing what it feeds but that looks like 5 open frame contactors in an otherwise normal panel. Since the space was provided it is legal.


If I was bored I would look at the Cutler Hammer(?) web site in the “controls” area.


Where was this? Any idea what it feeds?

Is that a fire truck?


I am still guessing the relays are part of a load management system.

Yes it is a fire truck. It is under construction and we went to check progress. They said “Dan, you are an inspector, how’s it look?”

The relays look similar to ones used for stand-by power. Is this a Homeland security or disaster relief, First reponse unit etc.?etc. etc. ???

It is a 2004 Seagrave to be used as a frontline rescue squad. It will run about 2,000-3,000 runs a year. The one it replaces is 13 years old and on its last legs. It’s got a PTO driven 35KW generator that is fired up from the cab on any call expected to need tools or lights. It’s also got a 20KW Diesel generator.


As for what it powers:

Lights and woowoo
9,000 watt light tower
8 halogen floods
a bunch of cord reels used to run portable lights and tools like saws and fans

It was filmed about 3 miles from my house. I may be in it, but don't bother looking. We took our ladder up to help stand in a funeral procession for the movie. Lot's of buzz about it in the fire dept circles. Actually looks pretty realistic. In fact, Juoquin Pheonix actually completed the entire Baltimore training academy, and all the firefighters were trained pretty heavily. Travolta spent weeks in the academy.

Saw Jon T. talking it up on Letterman last night. Guys from my firehouse are meeting tonight to go see it. Can’t wait! icon_biggrin.gif Hope we don’t get a call in the middle of it.

John T. is a great guy. Actually flew three guys from my county to Oprah and then his house and then the premier. He said he can’t believe the firefighters looked up to him as an actor while he looked up to them.

I have a big box of those relays salvaged from old mainframe equipment. They are good for something like 30a@240v inductive.


My guess, the control panel picks them as they turn on the different supply ports.
