Greetings wrenches;
I just watched a video from Midnite Solar, where they avoided double
lugging a breaker by using uninsulated ILSCO taps. I've used these taps
before as well, but never felt it was an optimum solution, as it leaves
quite a bit of uninsulated metal in close contact with the adjacent pole
( on a 2 pole breaker) I was also under the impression that some
breakers were rated for 2 wires, such as Square D QO,and QOU breakers.
My question is this: are any breakers actually rated for 2 wires, and
if so any that are used in the solar industry? I know that stud type
breakers (like Outbacks) can have multiple lugs on the same stud, or use
a double barrel lug.
Thanks for your help,
Ray Walters
