iwire--
Excellent point about the KO unit. It performance tests the magnetic trip components, and of course the contacts and the mechanical parts (pivots and linkages).
Do you think that the bi-metallic strip that comprises the overload trip mechanism would be less likely to have a problem than the magnetic part? I'm thinking so.
And BTW, thanks for serving as moderator. I find this forum to be an invaluable resource and sometimes a source of real entertainment (I'm thinking of the car salesman's flying rug story...)
Dave55--I'll be at ElectricWest in Anaheim in early Feb, I'll ask the Ideal people what the scoop is on the SureTest units, and report back.
Cheers,
Cliff
