Issue:
Load center has two back fed breakers that need to be retained.
Product Line:
QO Load Centers
Resolution:
Two 2 pole breakers can be retained in Series S01 and S02 single phase QO Load centers. (Not available for Homeline)
This is done by using the Manual Transfer kit for the appropriate ampere rating, and not using the included QO2DTI interlock.
The table below outlines the choices;
| Load Center Type | Amperage Range | Series | Side of Panel | Position (in Panel) | Part Number |
| QO | 100A-125A | S01, S02 | Right | 2,4,6,8 | PK4DTIM4LA |
| QO | 150A-225A | S01, S02 | Right | 2,4,6,8 | PK4DTIM4HA |
| QO | 100-125A | S01, S02 | Left | 1,3,5,7 | PK4DTIMLAL |
In many cases this is requested when a load center is being used in a PV system to combine inverter outputs.
If the inverters are considered "Utility Interactive" then under the 2011 NEC, section 705.12(D)(6), a retaining kit is not required.
This is because the inverter will shut down when it no longer senses the utility side connection.
