Subject - parallel breakers
jack when paralling two 600 amp breakers to an oil rig for power do i need to place a meter at each breaker for power usage or do i need just one breaker at the main point of distribution? I think it would be just one at the main because the amp draw is from the rig and amp draw is not devided when paralling is it?
JimmyDee You can meter at the input (line side)feed of the breakers and be OK but the power from the load side of the breakers will be equally divided.
