I have an opportunity to inspect one in California and there was alot wear and tear considering time in use. I believe it was due to water level fluctuations and movement. On Sat, Jun 13, 2020, 10:11 PM Corey Shalanski wrote: > I am curious if any Wrenches have experience with floating array

I am curious if any Wrenches have experience with floating array (aka "floatovoltaic") systems? From the limited research I have done, there only appear to be a handful of solutions providers - mostly based in Europe or Asia. I'd be interested to hear any testimonies - good or bad - about your

Brian, thank you very much. With your hint of "functional ground" I can clearly see that I am not allowed to have those be white wires. Now time for me to incur the full wrath by daring to question the infinite wisdom of the "highly qualified individual" from the state. (all kinds of fun stuff

Change in 2017 to “functional grounded” was to clarify this - it’s not solid when it is thru a fuse or breaker than can be interrupted either in the event of a ground-fault or if the breaker is intentionally opened. 2017 makes it clear that there are very few solidly grounded systems (2 or less

Jim, Hope all is well with you and yours. on white wires in circuits, In 3 ph. circuits you can get killed breaking into a neutral that's common to other circuits. One example, working on 277 lighting, you throw the breaker or light switch on the one circuit you're working so the hot isn't
