Breaker hold-downs [RE-wrenches]

[Dean T. Newberry]

Hi JeffO'

We have got the local inspectors to agree that these are not back feed 
breakers, they are "intertie breakers".
Backfeed breakers can have current on both sides when disconnected. When 
you turn off a backfeed breaker the feed side remains energized.
Intertie breakers cannot have current on both sided when disconnected. 
When you turn off an intertie breaker the inverter side denergizes. The 
breaker operates as intended with intertie equipment, the wire is 
protected and
No hold down required on an "intertie breaker"
