?? P Break

[mstrlucky74]

Anyone know what this power break is. They shown furniture with a poke thru. Not sure what is meant by the power break.

I never saw this wording in my 7 years in electrical design field. Some architect have funny language to describe engineer's items

Do you have your spec book?
Is there a listing on the print showing symbols?
Is there cut sheets for the furniture?
PB to me is a push button; time to RFI.

I would say that it is a receptacle into which the modular furniture system can be plugged. (That is why coordination with the furniture vendor is called out.)
Rather than Power Break, I would use the word disconnect for this feature.

No stand alone spec..only on drawings and no reference to it.

Are you sure that it's power break and not power box? I could see this as the transition point between the furniture system and the branch circuits feeding it.

Can't say. Only see it referenced as power break.

according to the legend - "power brake" is for the dash line, it can mean trenching. pb in circle can mean power box

Not sure what is meant by the power break.

Maybe it means a doughnut, a cigarette, and two cups of coffee in five minutes. hmy:

I knew it!
"P break" Larry,

I would imagine it means a break in the furniture wiring harness - everything past that point in the electrified furniture is on a different circuit - or not wired at all.

I find that architects throw those kinds of terms around like they actually mean something. They look at me cross-eyed when I ask them how many circuits they need for a five-wire system. "How can you not know how many circuits?! I already told you, it's five-wire!?"

When I was a DJ in a nightclub back in the 70's, whenever I needed a P Break I would just put on Nights in White Satin.
