The 120 A main breaker is shown in KOP checklist, page 11 of the Blue Tote (Pg 16 in the .pdf file. Directly below that is a picture of the MAXI Style Fuse Block which we will have to use this year for the 40 amp breakers as discussed in this thread. The smaller circuit breakers are shown on page 1 of the E-kit pages (page 18 of the pdf file).

I agree that the Maxi fuse blocks are heavy and I too would like to have something lighter. However, I can find lots of other rules I am more disappointed by and overall I think we can be happy there's not a lot more restrictions.

I also agree with Al that the wiring drawing does not account for 40 A ground distribution. I hope that we're allowed to do these connections without another heavy chunk of metal.
