I went to a plumbing supply store today to pick up some stuff for my bath remodle and when I got there all the power was out. They told me its been happening for about 6 weeks.
I went there in my personal vehicle so I didnt have any tools or meters but the guy remembered me and said oh your that electrician that came in last week. Would you mind taking a look?
So being the sporting type I went to the back and had a look.
The power company had some power analyzing equipment set up and when I scrolled throgh some of the stats nothing really seemed to jump out at me.
I was curious as to why the three trip settings were all set to max..? I was also curious as to why they would have installed a 300 amp JXD6 style breaker. From what I understand these are designed to be able to be fed from either side, load or line..? THis is a plumbing supply store with a big wearhouse and store front. And the breaker that was replaced looked almost brand new..?
I understand that I havent provided much technical info but I was hoping someone could have a similar story to share. And what they found to be the problem.
Thanks
