[QUOTE="Rick Stansby, post: 24749, member: 312"] Re: When L21-30 just isn't big enough Bennett, I did get my answer thanks. It's great to have people to bounce things off of. Regarding the other argument, of course it is code to have linked breakers. It is very common for sound companies to break these links. I remember about 10 years ago, when Vertecs were new, a local company combined theirs with a the rest of the vertecs on the west coast for a Kiss show in Southern Cal. The system tech told me about breaking the links, and he told me about how they were popping breakers during the show, pushing the system to the limit. He was glad that he was only losing 1 leg of each L21-30 at a time. This story does not change the code, or the potential (if rare) safety issues. It only points out that lots of people do it. Slowly we are learning and spreading knowledge, and these safety hazards are being reduced. FWIW, we are not going to un-link our breakers. [/QUOTE]
