Electrical Industry Canada and the Electrician Forum Need Your Expert Knowledge
As industry experts you know the products you use everyday better than anyone and should have input on what information you receive about products and what could improve them.
Therefore, we want your insight on the biggest challenges or issues you face when installing loadcentres, breakers (CAFI, GFI's…) and other surge protection devices. We ask that you do not provide product specific details but rather your general issues and concerns or any questions that have come to mind while working with these product types. Provide us with your valued expert insight into the issues you have faced so manufacturers can better inform you about the installation and use of these products. Lets generate some discussion that will help guide the Industry.
