[RE-wrenches] DC circuit breakers in parallel

[Ryan]

Larry
Our 100 amp din rail is essentially 2 breakers in parallel. So in theory 
the 2 60 amp breakers "Could" work but. My concern would be that they 
may not be tripped at the same time where they are not internally 
ganged. I can't say "Go Ahead" but.
