Because of the wire size, I have to my garage, the biggest sub panel I can feed is 40 amps. here in Ontario I need a main breaker in it. I realize the rule is a little different in the States for small garage panels.
Problem is, I can’t find a panel with a 40 amp main breaker…60 amps is the smallest I can find.
I’ve done a lot of research and it appears the only way I can do it, by code, is by “back feeding”.
The back fed main breaker has to be held with a screw on clip, to prevent it from easily being easily pulled.
Does anyone have any experience with this arrangement? Do all companies have these kinds of clips for their load centres?
