Lmao no. What? TF are you smoking, and can I have some?

Maximum current rating has nothing to do with voltage. Neither does AIC. Neither does NEMA enclosure type. Neither does fuse type selection. Neither does the operating handle color. Neither does the dual cover interlock. Neither does the intended location usage. Neither does the degree of accessories available.

Out of 10 points, 2 of them have to do with voltage.

ThatOneCSL

That's... So not true.

https://www.se.com/us/en/faqs/FA110086/

The differences between a general duty (GD) and heavy duty (HD) safety switch are show below. 1) The Maximum voltage ratings = the GD are only rated up to 240Vac Max and the HD are rated up to 600Vac and 600Vdc. 2) The Maximum Amperage ratings = the GD are only rated up to 800amps and the HD are rated up to 1200amps Max. 3) The types of Fuses = The GD switches only use Plug type, Class H, K, R, J and some a Class T and the HD switches use Class, H, K, R, J and L fuses. NOTE: SEE CURRENT DIGEST or CAD Drawing or the Wiring diagram of the switch for correct fuses. Also, the HD Switches DO NOT accept Class T fuses and there are only a few of the GD that will use a Class T fuse. SEE THE CURRENT DIGEST OR CAD DRAWING OR WIRING DIAGRAM

4) The Maximum short circuit current rating = the GD switches are ONLY rated up to 100k AIC MAX. based on the proper fuses used and the HD switches are rated up to 200k AIC based on the proper fuses used. 5) The NEMA Type enclosures = The GD are only available in types 1 and 3R and the HD are available in Types 1, 3R, 4, 4X(Stainless or Fiberglass), 5, 7, 9, 12 and 12K. 6) Operating Handle Color = The GD switches only have a Black color handle Knob and the HD switches have a Black and Red Color handle for increased notification of ON vs OFF from a distance. 7) The GD switches do NOT have a dual cover interlock, but Per the NEMA standards, the HD switches must be provided with a Dual Cover Interlock. NOTE: the Dual Cover interlock functions to prevent the switch cover from being opened when the switch is ON and when the switch is OFF with the cover open, it prevents the switch from being turned ON.

8) The GD switches use Arc Shields on the Line Base assembly and the HD uses Arc Suppressors. 9) The GD switches are intended for some residential and light commercial applications and the HD are intended for commercial and industrial use. 10) The GD switches only have a few accessories and the HD switches have a wider variety of accessories available.

well acktshually

Translation involves written word, interpretation involves spoken. The whole post is wrong.

ThatOneCSL

Can you prove that?

What does 36e1 give you? What does 36x101 give you? Now what does 3.6e3 give you?

Specifically, the electricians mates.

It means we're gay. Your flair, your choice.

Open up Event History, go to Windows Logs, then Application Logs, and see if there are any Critical or Warning level alarms for the program. It should be able to provide some more detail on where to look next.

Just brought it back from Tokyo

To speak to your last question with some level of authority:

I took a year of Japanese in high school, and I have watched almost exclusively subtitled anime. I can now come up to a day where Crunchyroll screws up the English subs for an episode of a show I am watching, try to figure out as much as I can from the audio, then go back and watch it with Spanish subtitles (which I can read way better than I can listen to Japanese), then go back and watch it with English subs once they are fixed.

Turns out I still barely understand spoken Japanese.

They're actually spring pins. Still very prone to corrosion. And also binding.

My comment was going to be Chuckles in American

(Largely joking)

Yeah, with turbines you probably want as few emissions as possible. With rockets, getting as close to a 100% emission rate as one can is ideal.

As an alternative to everything mentioned here, and which I think will probably actually be more useful in the capacity you're looking for:

Create a CLI. Also create a GUI that calls the CLI. That way anyone who wants to script your tool can easily do so by chaining CLI calls. You're not forcing the end user into one box. Then your GUI can be an exemplary piece for how to use the CLI, and it can be done in a variety of ways. You could do a web app, a mobile app, a desktop app, something that compiles to cross platform native binaries - the world is your oyster at that point.

Gonna need a new road before a new car, at this point.

Here in Texas, I can go get a 2 pound (902 g) chunk of butter in an "Amish Roll" format. Truly wonderful.

I highly doubt that Reddit censored the word "pubs" on its own. Pubs pubs pubs pubs.

It is much more likely that you were trying to emphasize that word, and you stumbled on the censor markdown syntax. Censored is made with >!Censored!<

I pooped a little bit. Which is fine, since I happened to already be on the toilet. It would've been an issue had I seen this elsewhere, though. At least tag it as NSFW, ffs.

Long before that, we just stored our smokes in tins. Turns out that was the premier storage medium; content creators are opening tins that have been sealed for decades, and the cigs inside are fresher than some you pull from brand new packs today.

No, I was referring to two things in the real history of the real world that bear similarity to what you've described here.

Or go Latin with it: omnivenenum.

The god of Abrahamic religions is nameless - "Jehovah" or "Yahweh" or whatever else are not the true name.

Similarly, we don't know the original word for bears in Proto-Indo-European, which evolved into many languages. The "euphemism" for the original word, which wasn't uttered because it is believed it would summon one, was *h₂ŕ̥tḱos. This evolved, eventually, into orsos/ursus/ursa/arktos/arcos/arctus/arctos/arth.

My point being that this isn't terribly strange, certainly not unprecedented.

ThatOneCSL

Perhaps, I can't really speak to that. Former electrician, current automation engineer; I don't have rail experience.

That being said, that's a perfectly reasonable safety net for the event that the worker's LOTO is bypassed by someone willing to commit life-threatening felonies against their coworkers, but it shouldn't be the primary procedure in place. Somehow, I also doubt that if our friend here has been neglected in terms of their electrical safety training and PPE, it's likely that they also haven't been issued shorting links that have been maintained in good condition.

ThatOneCSL

At 30 mA AC, 50-60 Hz, yes. This is not AC at 50-60 Hz. Not all electricity is created equal.
