What happens here

After removing the panel covers, the technicians perform an infrared scan of the exposed internal components. They specifically check the circuit breakers and bus bars for heat signatures. The scan reveals no abnormal heat, indicating that the breakers are not currently under load. Following the infrared scan, they conduct a visual inspection, examining the components for any obvious signs of damage or wear.

Goal: Identify potential hot spots or visible damage within the electrical panel.

Now, we want to take off the dead pump. We're going to see some hardware here. See that? There's a bracket here. >> There's a bracket here. >> Yep. >> And there's a bracket on the bottom and a bracket on the bottom.
