Wrenchers, One of my associates was asked by an inspector to prove that the QO breaker is rated for back-feeding. I seem to remember the code stating that as long as the breaker does not state that it is only rated for one direction then it is ok to back feed. Anyone have a reference to the code or literature from Square D that states it is ok to back feed? All feedback is appreciated.
