Inverters used in Solar Plants transform the DC electricity in a solar plant to AC electricity so it can be transferred. There were as many as six inverters in the first solar plant project that I started to be part of, back in 2022. They were huge and very heavy, of course. A big mobile crane was used to install them on their platform, no doubt. Everything is good so far. Right?
The crane comes, lifts the cubic-shape, giant piece and puts it on the concrete platform. Physics says that a big structure's weight helps it to be stable. Right? It is 4400 Lbs. structure. The weight forces the inverter toward the ground, downward. If something, like a strong wind or side force pushes it, the structure does not fall or in fact even move due to its weight but what did the genius do? He ordered the legs to be welded to some metal plates on the columns of the platform!
A fillet weld was deposited at each side of the structure's leg, each nearly 16". On the second thought, I think I don't think the weld was at each side because the inner side was not accessible and the weld had what role? To help to keep the structure intact on the occasion of side force!
What makes this stupid is that the donkey who was in charge employed a company who was a CWB Division 2 company! This nasty, pretentious poser did not know that the division of a company has nothing to do with the quality of the one deposits! This nasty animal's position, in case you need to know was Project Manager! I shit in the mouth and eyes of the animal who hires animals like this in the first place.
(Photo: Long chains on the hook. The crane is preparing to lift the inverter. One of the pillars, of the other platform, is seen on the left. It is, of course not seen here but each platform has a metal plate buried on it and its surface is exposed. That is where they deposited the weld! )
