Will Not Test Only – From Bus Plug List of 10 Things We Will Not Do
SB323R General Electric Bus Plugs For Sale by MIDWEST
On MIDWEST’s list of “Ten things we will not do with bus plugs” is “We will not sell a bus plug that we have tested only.” In other words, we are not going to take a Square D bus plug and just test it and say it is okay. We are not going to take a Cutler Hammer bus plug and sell it without reconditioning it. We are not going to sell a GE General Electric bus plug unless we have reconditioned it and tested it first. We are not going to sell an ITE bus plug after doing only a “smoke test,” as one really old time electrical contractor was fond of asking us. An old timer’s really scary minimum specification. When he turned it on, he just didn’t want to see any smoke. That was all he was concerned with. So he said. Actually we worked with him for decades and he always came back because he knew we did everything, including reconditioning and testing the bus plugs, anyway. We are not going to sell a Siemens bus plug as is, even for temporary use. We are not going to sell a Westinghouse bus plug after reconditioning and testing, if it still does not pass our final quality control inspection. All these statements are a repeat of the basic same “We Will Not Test Only” from the list of ten things we will not do with bus plugs. Sometimes it can be enlightening to say one thing six different ways, if it is making an important point. For quality and safety, pleonasm may be your friend.
