Good day all.
I have a RFI that some of the more hands-on guys may be able to help with. There's an existing meter with a 200A, 240V, 2-Pole circuit breaker (Siemens QJ22B200H). The breaker is feeding an existing 125A lug only panel that serves a few lights and outlets. We're adding another 100A panel for some more lights, small pump and controller for irrigation stuff. The original designer has a note calling for a double lug connector to be used with the 200A breaker to feed the new 100A panel. All installation is outdoors and conductor sizing complies with tap rules.
The question from the contractor is regarding the double connector lug. He claims that he can't find that item. I was under the impression that these are typical mechanical lugs that can be purchased from Burndy, 3M, whathaveyou to allow terminating two conductors - is this not correct? Also it'd be great if anyone has resources regarding that particular breaker, including available options for terminations and where they can be obtained. All comments are much appreciated.
