contextless! 80 squirrles, 13 racoons, a couple dozen brids. but what fraction of all outages is this? if signficant, need to better squirrel-=proff infrstructure, although it is well kn ow this is a difficult problem. a;so, my swag on how muc power it would tanke to trip a bigg circuit breaker? would that amount of current make the squirrel go poof pretty quickly, not enough to trip breakers? but bey monitoring is perecise enough?
