Please log in for more thread options If you should be so happy to have a house that has more than one electrical panel. (ie sub-panels) Can you get away with one signal bridge at the main panel or is it wise to have one on each panel??? Also should you have two 200 amp panels (400amp service) as mains is it suggested to have a signal bridge in each or will one do the job??? Thanks in advance. Les | ||||||||||||||||

We have two panels, but one panel just carries major loads like the A/C compressors, stove, & dryer. Most branch circuits come into the other panel, and one signal bridge would normally be installed there. However, we don't even need one because all X10 circuits are wired into the same phase. Even if your X10 loads are distributed across both panels, you may still be able to get away with one signal bridge if the run between the two panels is not too long. If your two panels are at opposite ends of a large house, and equally share X10 loads, then you probably should install bridges at each one. Jeff | ||||||||||||||||
