To all,
There is a seller on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280393895241&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
that is selling claimed good takeout Airpax 125 volt 800 amp 4 parallel breakers with a shunt trip for
Get This ! ! ! $44.99 plus shipping
I have one in hand and one more coming.
It looks like you can remove the shunt trip and disassemble the breaker into individual 200 amp breaker units and/ or re-combine 2 or 3 for a 400 amp or a 600 amp breaker or do like we will, just connect the bus bar to only 3 breakers for starters with our 600 amp pack and later when we add the next layer of cells go to 800 amps.
<EDIT> Heck, even if it wasn't a good breaker, for 46 bucks it makes a nice emergency disconnect<End EDIT>
It looks like the shunt trip can just be connected to a BIG RED BUTTON and cause the breaker to open when pressed.
One thing it is HUGE about 8 x 11 x 4.5 inches.
As of right now he has 6 left.
A side note I looked this thing up, if bought new in quantity 1 it costs $1450.00.
Do a search on eBay there are a couple of others that have used Airpax breakers, not as cheap though
