You must understand that, in Cuba, all staples are provided through ration depots and paid for in pesos. Luxuries are only acquired from "dollar stores" at seemingly outrageous prices and quality.

Used a line thermostat, dual three-prong outlet with GFI, heavy duty three-prong plug and wired all that inside a large wall-outlet/switch box. Cost a wee bit more than 14.99 - just a wee bit more....

My main selector switches all break the neutral. The on ly exception to this is the 30 amp breaker on the main shore power cord. That has a very direct run (24 inches) to the isolation transformer. While double- pole breakers are readily available (I use one as the genset disconnect), I c ould not see any justification for breaking both legs.

And many of us have families to tend to, jobs to work on top of the rehab work. Knowing that at least 90% of what comes into rehab is due to conflicts with human activity, most of which are preventable, I do endeavor to educate the public at every opportunity.
