CNewhouse Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Would this be considered a double tap? I don't think I've ever seen this done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNewhouse Posted January 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Wondering if the connector would prevent the lug from securing the 4/0 aluminum conductors properly.

Marc Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 I doubt the breaker's connector was engineered for that. Also, paralleled conductors need to be same material, size and length, so that the current divides evenly between them. Write that baby up.

Jim Katen Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 All the connections in that meter main are incorrectly made. I doubt it was done by an electrician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
