So,       if for instance in a factory in the main panel you put one with a 30 mA       trip current, and downstream another with also 30 mA, you have to pick       an upstream "specially" rated so the downstream trip won't affect the       upstream breaker.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
