Load panel terminology: stab?

It's used in a load panel sticker that says something like "do not put more
than 150 amps on one stab".

What's a "stab"?

Is it one slot, or a pair of slots sharing the metal tab?

The correct spelling is "bus". "Buss" is a proper noun and "buss" is
wrong unless you're in love.

....and if it doesn't grab the bus bare it won't work. ;-)

I should know better than to be vague.

Is it the space one circuit breaker takes up?

Is it the metal tab that two adjacent (end-to-end, not side-to-side)
breakers share?

Is it the space that those two breakers take up?

Please don't let "Michael A. Terrell" see that.


After reading his replies of an error he claimed, I made, I did think
It was an error until a rethought about it..

Normally I would use BUSS and not BUS how ever, BUS is correct.

And for you jerky "Michael A. Terrell"
