downsizing main breakers [RE-wrenches]

[Geoff Greenfield]

Wrenchtastic list members, What steps do you take (and what part of the NEC
is referenced) when deciding to downsize a main breaker for busbar loading
issues?  My client is ready to "wing it" and slap a 150 amp breaker into the
200 amp panel, and this is an un-inspected job, but what about nuisance
trips? sizing a service seams very elementary, but I would like to know the
proper way to do it!

Happy weekend to all and safe travels to the folks returning from San Jose

For a brighter energy future,
