We are doing a job where we pulled 750 Rw90 into a CDP. Our problem is, is the breakers lugs are triple lugss made for parallel runs, but are only good for 500. Without hacking threads off,or getting new lugs, is there some sort of a crimp or something that would redudce the 750 to fit into the 500?

Let me know any ideas.

Thanks,

Most breakers have an available lug kit for larger wires. Pain in the butt but remember your an electrician not a barber. Last time i ran into this situation a coworker said to give the wire a haircut......that's why I never take any of his suggestions seriously anymore.

Look on the face of the breaker, if it will likely list the lug kits that it can use.

You should be able to remove the triple lugs and replace them with larger double lugs.

If given the choice I would rather change the breaker lugs.

Those can suck to fit in and do they have a set that goes from 750 all the way down to 500?

The lugs are definitely the better option if available.

Also shoo pins made by greaves

Yeah they do. And they suck. He'd probably have to get the offset pins and roll each one so they fit. I had to use those for 600 down to 500 4 conductors per phase on a breaker last year. Took me almost all day haha....

Those wire ferrules are not bad if you have plenty of room and the wire goes straight into the lug. They are expensive though. They are also quite a bit wider than the larger wire which can be a problem with multi-space lugs especially front and back 4 holes. If you have the time and can find a lug kit I would do that.

Why didn't you run parallel conductors?

Damn I didn't read the whole post I just assumed it was paralleled. Running a single set of 750s is just weird
