No, we cannot have any branch circuit wiring in the barriered area. For all intents and purposes they are considered two distinct enclosures. It would be considered the same as passing branch circuits through a fused service disconnect.

54 spaces? 60 spaces? I have not seen these.

I don't know what kind of prices you get but my price is a lot cheaper for the 54 space w/po neutral versus the standard 60 space panel.

40 circuits is a 'big ass panel' ? Must be residential. Been working on 114 circuit panels all this week :whistling2:

In new construction I use a 40 space(never a 32/40) and add a sub in the garage or utility room. Seems to work well.

Our igloos are usually only 6 feet to thetop and they don't want us putting the panel on the roof of the igloo, something about water dripping in when it gets a tad warmer in the summer.:whistling2:

....... You are the bestest electrician ever.

Lol. I think I hit the wrong button. Is this Electric Talk or the **** thread?

Thanks :thumbup: :laughing: I don't get into residential often enough to know what's a big panel or large run of wire or that kinda thing for that line of work :no:

What size of a building needs 114 circuit panels? Are they all located in different areas? Are all 114 panels the same brand?

Installed one in a grocery store to feed there deli, hot food counter, and pharmacy. Pretty sure we loaded it up to.

I bought a Homeline 20/40 and a QO 30/40 last year from Lowes. They were both clearance items and I'm finally going to use them. So with the opportunity cost of having my money tied up for a year I'll only be losing $125.00:laughing:

I take it these are sub-panel you're installing. What brand? I've use NQ's but not that many circuits in one panel.

Pretty close to all 120v circuits. In my case it's a service upgrade/renovation with limited space for a panel. I need at least 50 ckts.

Of course my two main suppliers look at me like I asked for fetus juice when I inquired about a larger panel.

Lame. Real electricians install 114 circuit panels, all 480 volt.

You have to put a breaker in unless you run conduit to the first receptacle. You could get away with two, I don't think the HO would be too happy.

A 34 storey condo building downtown. They are all in electrical rooms, 2 or 3 electrical rooms per floor in general. Usually with 2-3 114 circuit panels and a couple smaller 60 space or something panels then the lighting automation panels. All of these panels are spec'd and are the same brand, 120/208 3 phase with isolated ground.
