| | FUSE. OBVIOUSLY, THE FUSE SIZE WOULD BE DIFFERENT. |
| | PROVIDE CLARIFICATION. NEC110.3; FBC 107.2.1 (BY |
| | SEARCHING ONLINE, I WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND A REDUCER FROM |
| | 1600 AMPS TO 600 AMPS. PROVIDE MANUFACTURERS SPEC SHEET |
| | FOR THIS PRODUCT. AS A SIDE NOTE, WHY IS THIS BEING |
| | INSTALLED, AS THE CONDUCTORS AND SERVICE EQUIPMENT |
| | UPSTREAM ARE PROTECTED AT 600 AMP? IT SEEMS THE |
| | ORIGINAL FUSES COULD REMAIN IN PLACE, AS EVERYTHING |
| | AHEAD OF IT IS PROTECTED. NO CODE VIOLATION WITH |
| | CHANGING THE FUSE, BUT WE WILL NEED TO SEE A LISTED |
| | PRODUCT FOR THIS.) |
