    One from the rough crew

    Yeah, just land that service ground wherever. It all ends up at the same place anyway, right?

    New breakers supposed to be like this?

    Just bought a “new” breaker from Canada Breakers and its condition doesn’t exactly instill confidence. It looks dusty and used. The silver contacts are not shiny and have a matte white coating on them (I suspect oxidation?). Is this normal?

    Load Balancing Between Circuits

    I am not an electrician, but an end user.

    I am planning to build a very powerful server for running LLMs. It will have many GPUs and can realistically hit a 1500 watt sustained load. The PSU in my computer can handle 240v but I do not have access to a 240v circuit.

    My question is whether it is a good idea to somehow balance the load between 2 or 3 120v circuits. If so, what are some methods to safely do this?

    7x Outdoor plugs all on one circuit, all back-stabbed. Pool pump plugged in on the last one in the circuit.
