[RE-wrenches] Dream system.

[Solar]

That's a great idea. We have buss bar in our parts room. Good lesson on buss bar sizing and install. Compare and contrast the two methods.

I have been teaching at this college as an adjunct instructor since 2009 teaching for 3 of the 7 local iron ore mines,the local paper mill as well as doing most of the NEC code update courses. During that time I ran a one year and a 6 month solar PV course. I have a fairly nice lab built for the PV course consisting of the following:
