There was a discussion today as to whether it is permissible to install a subpanel and feed it with 120-V (feed the bus with 120). The neutral bar might or might not be hooked up. The purpose would be to use 2-pole breakers to break the neutral of a 120-V circuit (in lieu of a switched neutral breaker).
Nobody thought it would pass inspection, but everyone agreed it would do what is intended (break the neutral along with the hot).
We figured the AHJ would say the panel is designed to have 2 phase conductors on the bus, but is that a reason to not allow it?
What are your thoughts on whether it should be allowed or not.
