Re: 100 A Sub-panel feeder?
I would like to make a statement in defense of a fellow electrician and his comments. A little constructive criticism. There is apparently another word not on the PE exam or required class work, " humility". Most engineers that an EC works with are so pretentious about overall knowledge that it's hard for anyone to believe that they don't know everything. Many engineers can be the biggest of prigs. There has always been a dividing line between engineers ( professionals ) and electricians ( tradesmen ). This is a holdover from the old class system. The man that pulls on a rope can't be part of the upper class ( it has something to do with manual labor being beneath the dignity of the gentle class). If you don't want people to think that you know everything , the first step is to stop acting like you do. I have noticed that many of the engineers on this forum behave with a great deal of decorum and I am not criticizing them. I worked for about four years with a group of young EE's and most would never admit to a mistake or accept any advice from they lower classes. I thought I was dealing with the scare crow and his superior brain. I found many areas where their training was sadly lacking. This is just one person's opinion.
