In my "new" job (almost<br>
two years now), we received some power distribution boxes that were<br>
produced under a government contract that exhibit some major quality<br>
discrepancies. Aside from a few wiring errors, most of them seem to<br>
have issues with the housing. Holes in the top cover don't line up<br>
with the threaded inserts in the bottom housing, new holes were<br>
drilled without threaded inserts, and some of the new holes were<br>
driven too close to the edge of the material such that at least one<br>
has already broken out. Also, wood-type T-nuts were used on the<br>
plastic housing which doesn't seem to be sufficient to me.<br>
<br>
While this does not affect the electrical serviceability, the<br>
mechanical integrity of the boxes will likely be compromised since<br>
they are expected to have a service life of 10-20 years and could see<br>
rough service in unfavorable conditions. Needless to say, this was not<br>
the kind of work I expected to see from LEX.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, this seems to be a problem that was passed down the<br>
chain to our guys, as the date of manufacturing was 2013 and QC tags<br>
are dated 2015. Not sure if anything can be done to rectify the<br>
quality issues, but at the very least I think some feedback is in<br>
order.<br>
<br>
I have a few photos I can provide if needed.<br>
