Panel torque

[Kimberley Johnson]

Hello, I am looking for the torque requirements for the pannel box . do you know them or know someone who does? I also need the tourqe requriments for 3 ott wire. Thank you

Wire does not have a torque spec, terminations do.

They will be on the panel label or the termination itself.

15 in-lb for terminals

15 in-lb for terminals

I am not sure this is the correct torque for a 200A breaker.

[Kimberley Johnson]

doesnt it depend on what quage of wire you have for the torque/

I looked on the panel sticker of a 200 amp panel - 15 lbs-in for the breaker.

[Speedy Petey]

Hmmm, doesn't sound right to me. I'll look myself.

Branch circuit breakers, depending on brand, size and wire capacity: 15-30 in/lb

The one 200A main breaker I grabbed was 180in/lb for #2-300mcm.
