Here is a question now what if you only used the 12 slot atc fuse panel would you need the distribution block?
The distribution block is required equipment. Why, I don't know, but the rule is the rule. There is no rule saying how many sections you must use, but at least one black and one red with all the grays would keep you out of trouble.
