Thanks for the reply August. I’m working to get in touch with the engineer so we’ll see what they say. I agree balancing the tap on all parallel conductors sounds like it would avoid the possibility of any issue, but I can’t think of what the problem would be if current from the grid were decr

Hi Garrison, This is a new one for me - normally we always balance everything when dealing with paralleled conductors. NEC 310.10(H) talks about conductors in parallel and I can't see anything the explicitly forbids what you explained. To be safe, I think it is worth contacting the PE to double ch

Hi Wrenches, When making a supply side connection on parallel sets of conductors is it required to tap all conductors on each phase? I have a set of plans with an 800A interconnection on a 1200A service. Service has three parallel sets of 500MCM. Plans call for tapping just two conductors on
