Parallel feeders

[mcelweec@gmail.com]

Is it permissible to run aluminum parallel feeders terminate all sets in a multi tap connector & extend to a panel board in copper. Eg 2 sets 750kcm terminated on a 4 port bug with 2 sets 600kcm extended to panel.

Yes. Manufacturers instructions might require you to stagger the connections.

Would I be correct in saying that if the parallel conductors were extended individually (750al-600cu) this would be a violation.

That would work as well. As long as they are all the same.

The important thing is that the conductors of each paralleled set making up any given phase match in all characteristics and physical connections, to assure equal current sharing.
