[RE-wrenches] Split Panel Interconnection

[Andrew Truitt]

Replace it.  If you are talking about a split-bus panel then my
understanding is that they are no longer code-compliant.  I'm sure there are
wrenches on this list that are much more familiar with these panels than I
am, but every electrician and inspector that I've talked to about them have
advocated for replacement.

"Don't get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just that I prefer fusion
to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor
safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could
ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's wireless!"
