looks like the old fashioned factory in house maintenance specials. I hope somebody did something/anything about this.

What's that about 5-6 spaces down on the left?

Kid,

5 or 6 down on the left appears to be a factory breaker tie. The proper way to do what the nail is attempting

Hmm,
Portable conduit....
Now there's a concept.

That's what I was thinking Trumpy...LOL!

Thanks SA.

Hmm, Mike, you gots yourself and idear there.

Great way to save money, I bet that nail cost alot less than a 3 pole breaker.

I'll bet you never saw an 84 circuit panel!!

Found one a while back, lobby of office bldg being renovated; 42 tandems stuffed in that puppy. ('It's only temporary Sir')

John,
Actually I did see an 84. It was in new construction.
They ended up putting two circuits on each breaker. The lights in the owners office and the vending machines shared a breaker and kept tripping.
The panel was single phase 120 / 240 volt supplied from a three phase 120 / 240 volt service. The prints showed a transformer and the contractor actually charged the customer for it.
Low bidders and cheap customers make life interesting.
Alan--

FPE actually makes an 84 circuit,(narrow 1/2") 200A resi combo panel kit, and is by no means small physically.

Oh ya, its sold with breakers that trip also .
