    If not an engineer then what (& role of non-PE's)

    I have been out of the discussions since I didn’t think that I would change any of the non-PE mind. BobPE has been doing a good job in explaining the main reasons why our engineering profession required licensing. At the same time, Melone still putting up a good discussion, especially his last...

    Amps Interrupt Capacity

    You should calculate the short circuit fault current at the 300A service location to see the kA rating required. This fault current information at the location where you are installing the breaker may already exist in your plant. As a rule of thumb, for service less than 600V, the kA is rated...
