<DIV id=wmQuoteWrapper>-------- Original Message --------<BR>Subject: [RE-wrenches] Feeder without a dedicated breaker<BR>From: William Miller <<a href="mailto:william@millersolar.com">william@millersolar.com</a>><BR>Date: Tue, October 25, 2011 1:59 pm<BR>To: RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>><BR><BR>Friends:<BR><BR>A prospective client has a 200 amp meter / main / combo. There are only a few breakers in it feeding the well, the pool house / barn and the garage. There is no breaker feeding the sub panel in the laundry room that has all of the branch circuit breakers for the house. Instead there is a plug-on connection block feeding a large gauge aluminum romex feeder into that sub-panel. The plug-on connection block has hex set screws large enough to handle the feeder conductors.<BR><BR>Having no circuit breaker, this feeder is over-current protected by the 200 amp main breaker. Is this legal?<BR><BR><FONT size=3>To rephrase the question: Does a feeder require a dedicated circuit breaker?<BR><BR></FONT>Thanks in advance,<BR><BR>William<BR><BR><X-SIGSEP>
