I don't think Mass bans them. But the panel needs to be rated for them and they need to be the proper ones for the panel.

Werstinghouse panel cat # B20-20 FN,SN. Reading the label -- BQ are one of the breakers allowed in panel. Just curious about Massachusetts allowing use of "quad" breakers... as ....well....it is Massachusetts

Not 100% sure of the westinghouse numbers and don't have the time at the moment to do too much searching but pretty sure the quad breaker is NOT allowed in that panel.
btw: it's not a matter of quad breakers being legal in Mass. It's a matter of quad breakers being legal in that panel. That rule is an NEC rule so anybody that ascribes to the rules of the NEC would not allow it. |

I will get ahold of one guy he will know the history of Westinghouse load centre to verify it.
I rather do this on safe side instead of walking in dark without any info on hand. Merci, Marc |
