Nice 240v Jeff.


What's up with that uninsulated solid copper on the breaker below?

Jeff P,


Murray breakers are not rated for double taps. I wonder how they would have gotten 480 volts! ![icon_cool.gif](upload://oPnLkqdJc33Dyf2uA3TQwRkfhwd.gif) 2 wires for each phase!

I too thought it looked like bare wire, till you enlarged the picture!
