Thread: Square D - 3 grounds under one terminal

I have started seeing Square D panels that are allowing up to 3 grounds per terminal screw. Its been limited to 2 for several years so I thought I would throw this out just in case some have not noted the change before now. Note that mixed wire size combinations are not shown.

Thanks for sharing.

I noticed that also have only seen it in the new square D that has the plug in ability for the AFCI and GFCI breakers by doing that they eliminated every third screw on the grounding/grounded bar so I guess they had to make up for the lack of holes by increasing the number of conductors allowed you can watch the video about them here.

Does that label say a maximum of 80 circuits is allowed ??

Yes 42 space maximum has been eliminated from the code it now is as marked from manufacturer so as many as they test it with to get their listing
