[SML] PLASA public Review documents

[e-mail frank.wood95]

Just for curiosity, I read some of these drafts.

I shall never, never ever, understand the approach to overcurrent
production that means that a 100A breaker may be loaded to 80A, and no
more. If I buy a 100A breaker, I expect it to carry a load of 100A for
ever and a day. How long it takes to trip with an overcurrent depends
on the magnitude of that overcurrent, its duration, and on the detail
design of the breaker. The manufacturer's data usually include this
information.

If I want an 80A breaker, I will buy one, and expect not to get a 64A breaker!
