smoke?

We always seem to trip breakers from gearing things badly every couple of years.

So this year we are going to have a "breaker clip" for some of our heavier draw breakers. The custom circuit board will detect the open/close condition of the breakers by measuring the voltage drop across it. When a breaker is found to be open, the board tells the controller to change out the open breaker with one from the breaker clip. As of now, the process is a tad slow with the breaker change rate at about 3 breakers per minute. We're trying to up the rate to about 6 breakers per minute.

Maybe we can get the electrical team to come up with a sound effects generator to make the breaker change sound cooler.

Lastly, what's wrong with smoke! We've smoked plenty of components before.
