Memo to self - when looking for a small three-phase circuit breaker

Don't wait until the last moment -- thank heaven for Stoneway Electrical... Normally, when you are putting in a three-phase circuit, it is going to be something fairly large so your breaker will be in the order of 40 amps on up. I am wiring the compressor for the new beer cave and it needs to be fed by a 20 amp circuit. I was in town today so I went to my favorite local distributor -- they had everything down to 30 amp but nothing lower. They could get it in two days but nothing in stock. Tried another place and they did not stock Square D equipment (I prefer Square D for all power panels -- I have dealt with enough Zinsco, Murray and like crap to know the difference). Finally, one place said that the new Stoneway branch was open and gave me directions there. My first house in Seattle was just four blocks from Stoneway Electric at 3665 Stone Way North. This house was originally built in the 1900's and the previous owner had botched a remodel. I gutted it (I also owned a small cottage on the same property and lived there) and rewired it and brought it up to code. Sold it at the height of the Wallingford housing bubble but that is another story. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time at Stoneway asking questions and buying cool stuff. I followed the directions and found a large warehouse off the beaten track. They had the exact breaker I wanted so I know where to go when I need any more electrical stuff... Very cool to know that there is a well-stocked vendor in town.
