This is a bus tap for an emergency panel, #2 AWG, 1000 amp switchboard, with provisions for a bus tap, few issues though.

1. The conductor termination connectors are two small for the mounting
holes in the bus, so they put steel washers behind the termination
connectors.
2. The conductors enter the termination connectors from the top.
3. The tap was somewhere between 40-50 feet to the OCP.
