[QUOTE="tyromeo55, post: 1544590, member: 1719"] There is NO verbage in the NEC that I know of which specifically prohibits the use of aluminum for service conductors as long as the size is over #6 AL or # 8 Cu ( NEC ART 230.23B) Could you please cite a city or state code or an ART in the NEC? In Tulsa you must be a Licensed electrical contractor to pull a permit for adding an opening or altering a branch circuit. Can someone in the city confirm that this is not the case there? What are heck you talking about with separating the load and getting it from both sides of the breaker panel? 240V on a 120 / 240 single phase system already derives its load from both busses, it has to or it would not be 240! Furthermore... using two single pole un linked breakers is against the NEC (ill cite the actual code when I get to my book) [B]ETA: NEC ART 240.15 (b) [/B] What do you mean about "as long as another circuit has not been added"? all the outlets that anyone here would need would be a branch circuit and therefore need to be protected and have some sort of disconnecting means [/QUOTE]
