Maybe I don't get out enough, but today I ran across this panel for the first time:
If you look close, you can see that there is a stack of four breakers all handle tied together used as the main.
I have some better pics if anyone hasn't seen this before. If this is common and I am just missing the boat I won't bother to upload the pics I took.
These are being sold at Lowe's.
The configuration is that there are two breakers in parallel for each leg making a total of four. There is a long handle tie bar connecting all four breakers.
Breakers in parallel?
Am I being too anal or does this set up make others here a bit queasy?
