    circuit breakers

    Davidbeach is exactly right. Many manufacturers produce single phase breakers that are listed for two conductors, and there is no code violation as long as the wires are sized correctly and going to different loads. Just check with the breaker manufacturer.

    Have a job offer, waiting on another...Do I contact them?

    What is or is not binding from an employment standpoint depends completely on your location. For example, if you are in the US, some states are "right to work" states, which basically means that either you or your employer can terminate your employment at any time, for any reason, with no...

    GFCI Breakers tripping

    Folks, Sorry its taken so long for me to get back, been out of the office a couple of days. Skogs, I'm in the US. Patrick, good idea, I'll have the guys double check all the "factory" terminations. Waross, good suggestions. The new carts are in the same environment as the old, we've actually...

    GFCI Breakers tripping

    They are Siemens 120V bolt-in GFCI breakers, which have a standard GFCI trip of 4-6 mA. I agree it's probably a supplier problem, but it's slowing us down significantly, so if we can come up with a reason/fix, all the better. Thanks for the reply.

    GFCI Breakers tripping

    We are having a GFCI trip problem lately and I was hoping someone would have some ideas. Basically, for a few years we have bought "power carts" from a local vendor. These carts consist of a 480V disconnect fed from a welding-type plug. The disconnect feeds a 480V-208Y/120V transformer which...

    Recent graduate with poor GPA, what do I do about my resume?

    I agree 100% with Senseless ticker. Being well balanced and having good social skills have affected my ability to get a job, and more importantly, the money I make, much more than my GPA. When you do interview, just be confident in your abilities. Chaos

    Career advice for an entry level engineer

    PaKaz, One of my profs once told me: "Never get a Master's degree unless someone else pays for it" Of course, he was a Prof at a state school, so who knows. But I say if you can get a free masters, valuable experience, and be able to continue to pay off debt instead of quitting and incurring...
