All,
This panel holds 30 circuits, it has a right & left termination strip of 24 terminations each.
The two bars connect by way of the typical connecting piece that we all remove to have an isolated nuetral bar.
So we are left with a 24 termination bar, not counting larger lug for feeder.....note it comes
short of 24 screws, i had to 'borrow' from the grounding bar, being allowed to double up there......
I put 28 circuits into this yesterday, i use very few multiwire circuits due to the # of AFCI's my state requires...
I see NO reason for something marketed as a 30 circuit panel to become uncompliant to the NEC here, sorry folks.....
If the D**m thing is sold as 30 circuit, it should hold 30 circuits, i should not need to search for accessories to make this happen.the only accesory i see is an IG21
Here in the Siemens page It really pisses me off to see manufactures stand on the code to promote what they wish, then ignore the finer points when it is convient for them to do so.....
