Neutral in a transfer switch

[wayne123]

Is it OK to double up neutrals under one lug? I ask because this transfer switch that a customer bought only has three lugs for the N& G and I am feeding two sub panels out of it. The lugs are sized for two 250kcmil conductors and I put two 4/0 Al in it. There is very little space left in the TS to put any more lugs.

Wayne,

The lugs are sized for two 250kcmil conductors

this would mean up to two 250's so the answer is yes.

As far as room in the TS, thats a different issue.

Just a thought;

Be sure the lugs are rated for aluminum and more than one conductor per lug!
