Ground fault protection [RE-wrenches]

[William Miller]

Christopher:

$139 is indeed reasonable and I have one on order for this client.  One
problem:  if you don't have, want or need a PSDC enclosure, then mounting
one of this baby is a real pain.  I will have to fabricate my own
enclosure, the same complaint I had with the Trace PVGFP.  How about a
small, hinged front enclosure so the breaker can be mounted and you can get
to the back of it to wire it?
