TOPIC: Pushmatic panel questions

Pushmatic panel questions 14 years 9 months ago #14854

This is a pushmatic panel. 125 amp rating. The meter is a 100/200 amp. There does not appear to be a main shutoff. There is a 60 amp breaker that is the second breaker that says "main lights" on the breaker and "main 110v" on the panel cover. Is that the main breaker? Seems like that is the wrong spot if it is. Also, there are no conductors to that breaker. I was thinking that it didn't need one because of the "5 hand motion" rule, but it would take at least 11 movements by my count to shut off everything.

I would almost bet the one labeled main lights is miss-labeled.  But without knowing for sure I wouldn't make that call.  Most likely the two upper breakers are the main disconnects.

It's a split bus.

Rick, what is the best indicator that this is a split bus?
