Hope you guys can help me here, as the "pros" at the electrical distributor shop were stumped.
At my final a couple weeks back, the inspector was darn fair. He found a few things to fix, and this is the last one...
I have two "main" panels for the house, both of about the same size. One on the outside, then one on the inside (that's fed from the one on the outside).
outside
inside
On the inside one, there's a feed - dual breaker - going to a smaller breaker box that's dedicated to my power tools (so I could lock it out if I wanted to).
dual breaker, pulled off, showing the retainer the electrical place sold me.
The inspector says I need some kind of retainer holding this dual breaker down, so that when you flip it off, it won't pull out of the panel (funny thing though - he didn't mention the same requirement for the ones for the oven just adjacent to it).
My outside panel has one of these retainers- for the MAIN power breaker(s) - 200A.
Here's the one on the main panel outside. There's screws
BUT, on my inside panel, there's nothing "behind" the breaker that will allow me to fasten it down.
Any suggestions on this? The "box number" of my inside panel is BXH26/K if that helps. Square D's website is where I found that gold colored bracket (that doesn't fit), and otherwise was no help.
Thanks,
Shawn
