Hello everyone.
I have a bit of a strange question to ask regarding an enclosure that we are looking to possibly build. I have attached a sketch of the basic concept. We have two 20 amp 3-phase breakers that each have their own L15-20 connector on them. However, we have an enclosure that will require about 35 amps of 3-phase. Can we plug the two L15-20 connectors into the same enclosure, tie the wires together inside the enclosure and run it from the (2) 20 amp breakers? Unfortunately we are not able to replace the breakers or the wire to do a single wire feed to the enclosure.
Is this possible to do or a huge no-no? This design has come across my desk and I am not sure how to handle it. I can see both side to it.
Thanks in advance.
