Job Title : Firmware/Application Engineer (I dunno)

I graduated with a degree in Electronic Engineering. I am shameless enough to blog that I’ve got …*cough*… First Class for my degree.

Now, back to the point.

I was asked to do a no-load test for the energy reading meter. The meter has three phase voltage, which means three voltage supplies. Since the testing machine was on another mission, so my only option was the normal three-pin plug.

The job is easy. All I need to do is supply the voltage to phase A, and then make another two loops to phase B and C. But being a First-class-degree-smart-ass I am……..

I SHORTED THE VOLTAGE AND NEUTRAL TOGETHER!!!!

‘

‘

which in turn…….

‘

‘

BURNED THE POWER TRANSFORMER!!!

Luckily I passed through the power transformer…or else, guess I’ll tripped the power supply and plunged the whole company into blackout.

Oh…now I know…voltage and neutral cannot be shorted togerther….

I certainly did not buy my degree.
