I specified a three phase 225 amp panel interior and indicated I wanted a 125 amp "Main Breaker", I did not specify the enclosure (can) by part number. The electrician installed the interior in a 38 inch panel enclosure instead of a 50 inch panel enclosure. Therefore, there was not room for a "Main Breaker" at the top of the panel. The electrician installed a 125 amp three phase breaker in the interior and I lost six spare breaker positions.
Is it generally accepted practice to install a breaker in the interior instead of using a "Main Breaker"? We are under time constraints and I am tempted to approve this as a "field change" and move on rather than having to change out the enclosure (can).
I would appreciate input from experienced people on this forum!
