So does that mean you know about breaker curves? Instantaneous, short time, short time dealys, long time, and long time delays....ohhh make my heart flutter by talking tcc curves and breaker coordination! Please tell me you know what I2t means......
Well, I have had to use a short blow fuse to solve a problem and a red tag. I have to take continuing education for my license in Texas and I used to get with the IAEI - Texas Chapter (International Association of Electrical Inspectors.) Granted, this is a bit different than electronic goodies. Anyway, they had just talked about asynchronous inverse current ratings. Turns out that technically, the smallest rated piece in whatever equipment you have is your limit. And you have to have overcurrent protection that will work with that limit. So, then, I get a job where I am at now and the first problem is to solve a red tag given by one of the presenters at that conference. In fact, though now retired, he was a chief electrical inspector in Plano, Texas. So, we had done this fountain with an equipment vault. And in the actual controller was a relay that was rated for 5k amps, max. This was fed by a feeder switch in the main electrical room of the building (office building complex.) And that switch had fuses I had to replace with 5 kA short blow fuses.

That's probably not the answer you were looking for and it gives me joy to disappoint you.:)

But I had to use the Bussman point-to-point math for that and a few other projects. Essentially, you have to consider what is the maximum amount of asynchronous current coming into the building and that depends on the power company transformer feeding that building.

So, I saved the day with some 2 dollar fuses.

Then, the maintenance guys went to clean the pump baskets and didn't bother turning off the pump disconnects. Once the lids came off, 5 hp pumps were filling the vault very quickly and they levitated themselves out of there and the controller and other devices were ruined.

If it lives as a horse why does it have clothes?

I would enjoy coming across one of "these" people. I would ask the question like a 5yr old would ask the question. If you really believe you are a horse you would not put on pants, wash your hair, and sit on a toilet to shit. So why are you pretending to be a horse.

Prolly to get out of doing dishes and making sammiches.
 
Another from the food court. Looking at the middle of the ingredients, one wonders just what the natural flavors are? HMMMM. Inquiring minds want to know…Is it really a Vegan Burger???

The one ingredient that is flying under the radar is "cotton seed oil". Good, high grade, well refined cotton seed oil causes few digestive issues. What is creeping into the markets is low grade, poorly refined cotton seed oil that has come from foreign countries that came from fields sprayed with herbicides that are outlawed here in America.
Next time you have to take an antacid or feel your stomach rolling in the middle of the night.... Try to remember what you consumed that day. Lots of those food labels were printed long ago and the ingredients are now different.
