"A Customer"

A customer is the most important person in our business.

A customer is not dependent on us--we are dependant on him.

A customer is not an interruptino of our work, he is the purpose of it.  We are not doing him a favor by serving him--he is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to serve him.

A customer is not an outsider in our business--he is our business.

A customer is not a cold statistic--he is flesh and blood.  A human being with feelings and emotions, likes and dislikes.

A customer is not someone to argue with or match wits with, or try to outsmart.  No one ever won an argument with a customer.

A customer is a person who brings us his wants.  It is our job to handle his requirements so pleasantly and so helpfully that we will return again and again.

On the walls of our offices at H&H Buying & Selling, this philosophy hangs on a poster for everyone to see.  In this day and age of automated phone calls and impersonal web ordering, we feel that this nicely sums up the way we go about our business.  This is how we have been operating for over 30 years.

If you would like to learn more about H&H, please feel free to give us a call at 888-588-6560 - we promise you will talk to a real person who will treat you right. 

From talking to our customers over the years, there seems to be some confusion as to how exactly you can tell what Square D I-Line breakers can fit into a specific I-Line panelboard.  Many times customers have ordered a breaker, only to find out that it won't fit in their panel.  After the jump, we will go into detail on how to prevent this problem.  

There are two main methods to distribute your power over a large area in a commercial or industrial setting.  The first option is using standard wire and conduit.  The second option, which we will focus on here, is using busway, or bus duct as it is often called.  The major manufacturers who produce bus duct are:  Square D, ITE/Siemens, Cutler Hammer and General Electric.  All of these lines of busway have specific advantages over one another, but all of them serve the same purpose.

 
Busway is defined by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) as a "prefabricated electrical distribution system consisting of bus bars in a protective enclosure."  The bus bars can either be made from aluminum or copper.
 

The two types of bus duct are plug-in and feeder.  Plug-in busway is used in applications where power requirements are distributed over a large area.  Using plug-in units called bus plugs, load connections can be added or relocated easily. Plug-in busway is for indoor use only.

There are two main ways that using bus duct instead of wire and conduit can save you and your company money; initial savings, and future savings.  Many people don't realize that not only does a busway system save you money up front, but also down the road as your business expands, adapts or moves.
