I have found that code 408-15 is not in the new 2011 code which stated the number of ciriuits in a panel. Is this code somewhere else
No, the limits have been removed.
jumper,
Can you translate that into non-code speech ?

Ever seen a fuse panel with two sets of 60 amp fuses? Most were set up where one set controlled the plug fuses and the other controlled a range. Pull off the lights and still cook or the other way around.
Sometimes one set of pull outs would control one panel and the other another panel.
Good Morning. To me it sounds like a Main Lug Only panel and it would be limited to 42 over current devices.

So far nobody can give an example of when/where/how this exception applies.
If you are talking to me, nope.
I am sorry I was addressing the forum in general making a statement concerning the Exception where there would be two mains in one panel. Back in my first days it was a general installation in a single family dwelling.
A few days ago I was talking with a group of electricians and inspectors. The subject went in the direction of the type of systems they had seen. The one thing that I walked away from that discussion with was the knowledge that both electricians and inspectors have limits to the type of electrical installations that they are familiar with. Some of the highest license and certificate holders in the group had never had any experience with knob and tube installations. One of the electricians with more than 10 years of experience had done nothing but residential installations but had never seen knob and tube except in pictures. He also said he didn?t think he could bend a 90 in a piece of EMT.

Unless they're 70 some years old, how can they have experience with Knob and Tube?
That's not what I said.There are still houses around that have it, and it works.

My comment was to the previous comment of few (or none) having experience with K&T.
Knob and tube haven't been used for least 50 years, so unless one is 70+ years old, how does one has experience with knob and tube?
Depends on where you live.Knob and tube haven't been used for least 50 years, so unless one is 70+ years old, how does one has experience with knob and tube?
