Hi all, in 408.36 it mentions that the maximum number of OCPD's that can be installed in a cabinet is 42 under exception 2.
My 1st question:
Does a single pole double throw breaker count as one OCPD or two?
The exception states a 2pole or 3pole breaker counts as 2 devices or 3 devices respectively, but not single pole breakers with 2 handles.
Also I know they make panels with Mains that have provisions for 60 breakers.
My 2nd question: Is the 42 OCPD rule only for panels that have a remote main? Can you have more than 42 OCPDs if you have a MB in the panel?
