When is it ok to use a main lugs only panel and where would a main breaker panel be required.
Main breaker panels are usually at the service as the main disconnects. main lugs are generally used as sub panels fed from the main breaker panels.When is it ok to use a main lugs only panel and where would a main breaker panel be required.
Don't they make a breaker that is rated for the appropriate amperage, but does not have thermal interupting capabilities? In other words it is just a disconnecting means for the panel. It is still being protected by the up-stream breaker.
