Re: 1000 assist points and we could have done more

I've always wondered about the legality of some physical means of keeping the breaker closed or resetting it in case of a main breaker trip.

By the way, I'm beginning to think the main breaker should be bumped up in rating from 120 to 150 or 180 amps. While I'm not the electrical expert that some on this forum are, I have a hard time seeing what could get damaged (that's not already protected by a breaker on the PDB or somewhere else) at 180 amps but not at 120 amps. Especially if the era of 6 CIM drives is to continue, teams should be able to compete without the specter of a main breaker reset hanging over their heads.
