GE Main Panel 2 seperate 50amp breakers

[sziedman]

GE 100 amp Main panel, year about 1955.
It has 2 50amp main breakers, not tied together.
Is this a safety issue? I think it could be.
I would send photo, but I cannot see how to do it.

What if someone forgets about the 100Amp and just hits one toggle.
He will be fried on the other end.
Don't need a code for that one.

Definatley a safety issue ! All 240 volt double lever throws should be tied together .

So the assumption is that these are 50 amp, single pole, 120 volt circuit breakers?

Sam,
You've been a licensed home inspector since 2002. I recommend you take some CE classes . Concentrate on electrical subjects. Or just pay the fee and become a CMI.
