    4 (insulated) wires from electric pole for underground 3-phase service

    That could be a single (split) phase with the 2 phase conductors on the left, and the grounded conductor on the right. If you look closely at one of the "double tapped" conductors it seems to be at a very sharp angle to enter the conduit. I think that is used to bond (ground) the metal conduit...

If not could it be your moving a connection in the male part of the pc connection, and "fixing" it until it either heats up and re-breaks the connection, or one of the pins in the male part may have overheated or worn...

    Should you convert all house outlets to GFCI?

    I installed surge protectors on my main panel 10 yrs ago, saved me headaches many times. Our power doesn't go out often, but when it does, it will try to reconnect and trip a few times.

    Problems with a boost converter

    @davenn if you go to dfrobot.com and search dfr0123 it will come up. One thing I did see while glancing at it was if the output drops below the input then damage may occur to the module. Also this is a 20watt 3.4 volt to 37 volt input dc to dc boost conveter. Here is a link to it...

    Can a Doctor's Office Charge Much More Than Another?

    I believe that the provider (Dr,hospital,spec) negotiates with the insurance carrier for reimbursement rates for each plan the carrier has, and uses that and the co-pay to determine if it is financially logical to accept that ins. Recently an ins. carrier wanted a cancer care center to start a...

    Any idea what these sensors are on lightpoles in a stadium parking lot?

    I believe they are part of an outdoor distributed antenna system (odas). Outdoor Distributed Antenna System (oDAS) nodes in the City of Santa Clara will be mounted on existing structures such as streetlights and light poles in parking lots. The area of the City around the Santa Clara Convention...
