[RE-wrenches] NEC 705.12 Point of Connection - 120% rule for center-fed panelboards

[Glenn Burt]

I believe that John Wiles has stated this in a couple of places in print, therefore you may have a tough time justifying a way around the rule to an AHJ.

Supply side connections are very popular in this situation.

All –



We are seeing more AHJs not allowing us to use the NEC 7015.12(D)(2)(3)(b)
120% rule on center-fed panelboards. For example, if we have a 100 A
meter/main combo with a center fed 100 A breaker we cannot apply the 120%
rule at all and need to do a panel swap. What are other wrenches doing in
this case?



Best,



August
