Re: [RE-wrenches] kW/MW v. kWh/MWh

[Marv Dargatz]

Marco, You are right on with your observation.  It is extremely frustrating when "industry experts" in a technical industry use the wrong technical terms. rant ON Another example; the improper use of "panel" when the intended meaning is "module".  Check 690.2 for the definitions.  Just wait 'til ac modules are a reality.  "Hey, take a look at the ac panel, maybe that's the issue".  "Oh, you mean the load center?" "No, the panel". "Oh, you're talking about the ac module." "Yah, that's what I meant." "Why didn't you say so in the first place?" By the way, you can also take your car to a mechanic and he might say, "Raise the hood.  Let's take a look at the motor." To which you could reply, "I'm not having a problem with the heater, air conditioner, or electric windows.  The ENGINE is running rough, though." rant OFF Phew.  Do I ever feel better! See ya!
