Distrubtion Block to Fuse Panle/Block Wireing

Dose anyone know why on the E-Board you have to run one 6awg wire to each fuse panel/block? I have asked all my mentors and can't find any reason why this is need over running one wire to a Maxi block and distributing from there.

Re: Distrubtion Block to Fuse Panle/Block Wireing

Well, I would imagine that the MAXI block is on a higher breaker than the others. Not sure exactly though. Maybe just in good practice and to make everything separate?

Re: Distrubtion Block to Fuse Panle/Block Wireing

The difference in the fuse would not be a problem, because the power from fuse block to fuse block does not go throught the fuse.

Re: Distrubtion Block to Fuse Panle/Block Wireing

The main reason is that the rules say to do it the way the drawing shows.

One other reason is to keep voltage drops at one part of the electrical system from affecting other parts of the electrical system.
