The 3d printer area run still has not been installed. I don't think GFIs are the solution, additional breakers and outlets are. I can come by to meet with you wednesday early evening. But practically speaking the room only has one breaker assigned to it. The server area has designated breakers, the robot has one for itself, and then the peripheral plugs are on another. So a busy space with many people working on computers plus a motor or other high inductive load is not difficult to imagine.

The reason I'd like to meet is to know exactly which breaker tripped. I presume the one I describe above.

which breaker? probably just too many amps. the second run to the 3d printing area - did that get installed?

GFI's are totally seperate from circuit breakers.

they would not reduce the incidence of circuit breaker tripping.

old, defective circuit breakers sometimes trip at lower current than
they are supposed to. if it happens again we should figure out what
the problem is.

Hey all,
Someone was experimenting with electrical stuff and tripped breakers...

I think Sudo's standard outlets should be rewired with GFI outlets if this will cut down on this happening -

I will volunteer to replace these with one other who knows electrical (Whitney? Jake?) if it can be budgeted.
Is this agreeable to folks?
