Re: 2 100amp panel coupler help needed

["carlford" <carlford@xxxxxxx>]

Frank,
Thanks and I forgot to mention that I do have Levition's surge
protectors on each 100 amp panel.  They are a must out there due to the
constant surges.  In the old house you would loose a tv about every 3
years computer power supplies about every 2 years lots of bulbs.  The
salt plays heck with the power delivery on the island.  Some evenings
you can see a glow around some of the transformers up and down the
streets.  It's kind of pretty but also kind of eerie.  The capacitors
are only in the setup for testing purposes and as of now the "blockers"
are disconnected from their breakers completely.

One other thing comes to mind  I am 28 feet from the power lines and am
at eye level with them on the 3rd floor.  I had never realized that the
mains were NOT insulated.  I asked one of the CP&L workers about this
and they said the salt would get under the insulation and make the
lines deterriorate much faster than if they were bare.

Thanks again for your input.
