I forget, who was it in Star Wars that was always soldering on the Millennium Falcon and producing sparks, was that Chewie or R2D2 or Han Solo?

First time in my life that I blew a circuit breaker from the current that went through my hand! I presume the circuit breaker is more sensitive to currents to ground but I am pretty sure my hand did not conduct 20 amps. -----Original Message----- From: Seth Mattinen Sent: Tuesday, December 4, 2018 9:09 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Linear Circuit On 12/4/18 8:03 PM, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> wrote: > It is 18 kW.

Yeah that's like 80 amps at 240V. 8 AWG would be correct for 40 amp circuits. -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
