[Shop-talk] Square D QO breaker Box

[Mark Miller]

It is designed to be fed by 240V (2 phase 120) power.  If you are 
feeding it with a single leg of 120V just tie the two main lugs together 
and run that from your power source.  The lugs should be large enough to 
have your incoming power go into one and then have a second wire in that 
lug feed the other lug.

>> I am building a Sprinter van into an RV and have a question about the 120v breaker box (SquareD QO24L70RBCP).  It is a 2-Space, 4-Circuit load center.  My concern is that while the Neutral bar has four positions on a common bar, the two breaker connections are independent, without a common bar between the two.  This surprised the heck out of me. My inverter (Victron 24/70/3000)  has a single AC output with a ?cage clamp? terminal, not a screw down or stud terminal which would be easy. I can run a 6 or 8 AWG from the inverter to the Breaker box, but it needs to go to the two separate screw down terminals.  Physically, I believe I can run an 8 AWG wire into one breaker, and then back out to the other breaker, but I?m concerned about whether this is a code violation.
