Page 26: Distribution Cabling
7.4 Distribution Cabling 7.4.1 Load Planning/Breaker (fuse) Spacing Because breakers/fuses generate most of the heat in a system, care must be taken in the layout of high current breakers/fuses. Specifically the guidelines are as follows: 1. Any single pole Over Current Protection Device (OCPD) rated at 125A can be mounted in pairs, but cannot have an OCPD installed on either side of the pair. -
