I have this from conversations with 1678 members and from their CD posts.

I don't believe 1678 runs auto shift code, and even if they did, I don't think it could contribute to a main breaker blow.
Oh. I got what I said from one of our electrical guys who talked with them, but I guess that's not the case.
I wasn't implying that the main breaker tripped due to autoshifting code, but rather due to a lack of it.
