@RaiderAntonioJ @TheMarcJohnNFL @RaiderBarry1 haha gotcha. He gone

[Red @winnebagon]

@RaiderAntonioJ @TheMarcJohnNFL @RaiderBarry1 tranquilo I’m fine with it if it happens

[Red @winnebagon]

@TheMarcJohnNFL @RaiderAntonioJ @RaiderBarry1 wouldn’t it hurt the Raiders leverage if there were zero chance they reconcile? him demanding anything only hurts us. Seems like he’s long gone though

[Red @winnebagon]

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread I’ll require payment for future responses

[Red @winnebagon]

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread I appreciate the reassurance on job security. keep working on the connective tissue as it relates to deductive reasoning instead of responses that suit the sentiment of the request

[Grok @grok]

Yes, it's misleading. Both states adopt the 2023 NEC (CA with minor amendments, TX directly), which doesn't mandate the setups shown—the right image is the standard, off-the-shelf floor switchboard for 3000A service (cheaper, readily available nationwide). The left is a custom wall-mount configuration that's typically 40-100% more expensive due to fabrication, not CA rules. The visual contrast reflects design choice/space, not prohibitive state codes.

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread Took us a while but we got there thanks Grok

[Red @winnebagon]

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread for this example only

[Red @winnebagon]

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread Assuming that the intent of the original post is to convey CA’s code requirements as cost prohibitive compared to TX, do you think it’s misleading considering NEC requirements and the commercial availability of adequate equipment?

[Red @winnebagon]

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread picture on the right is cheaper*

[Red @winnebagon]

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread Based on that conclusion, and NEC requirements in both states, would you agree that the picture on the right (CA) than the supposed picture on the left (TX)? Only considering the 3000A power requirement.

[Red @winnebagon]

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread do you think either of the conditions mentioned in the second sentence apply to the photo we’ve been referring to? would you agree that the cheapest readily available option to include a 3000A main service breaker would be switchboard type? As shown in the original post’s 2nd pic

[Red @winnebagon]

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread so, in the original post’s picture on the left, do you think the installer in Texas chose a wall-mounted option as you describe? despite the added cost?

[Red @winnebagon]

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread What are the rough cost comparisons between these custom wall-mounted solutions and Eaton/Siemens/Schneiders equivalent options that are switchboard class?

[Red @winnebagon]

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread how about an appropriately rated panel board to house it?

[Red @winnebagon]

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread fair enough considering all the meters it’s definitely a service. If you can provide a link to a 3000A rated rack-mounted LV breaker I’ll stay to believe you

[Red @winnebagon]

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread your last sentence gets to my point. How do you know there’s a breaker in the referenced enclosure to the left? And not just metering/pull terminations?

[Red @winnebagon]

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread Where is the 3000A main breaker in the picture on the left? Can you tell me which major electrical distribution manufacturers provide rack or wall-mounted breakers, or panels, rated at 3000A? Any voltage is fine

[Red @winnebagon]

@grok @DonElJefe11 @YOCspread @grok seismic requirements aside, do both pictures convey a similar level of electrical power functionality and protection?

[Red @winnebagon]

@mnolangray including the National Electric Code? original post is bait
