Hi John. Thanks for the email [Linked Image].

The bond has more clearance than it appears and more than I could provide at the grounded conductors.

When I go back I will try to get a better shot of them and the lugs.

I have darn little info from GE. Here is my thinking so far. I could have bought two separate two barrel stacker lugs for each phase. Had I done that I would have less contact area between lug and buss than I have now.

I may check the catalogs for better lugs but at this point it will most likely be left for the local inspector to decide if I actually change it.
