  • I started installing and wiring a three-phase motor starter panel.
  • Under the supervision of my mentor, I mounted the panel, connected the contactor, overload relay, and circuit breaker, and terminated the cables according to the wiring diagram. I used tools such as multimeter screwdrivers and an installation tester to complete the task. Before starting the work, we isolated the power supply and followed lockout procedures while wearing appropriate PPE. After installation, we tested the motor control circuits and safety compliance in an industrial environment. I worked a total of eight hours on this task.
