[RE-wrenches] down-sizing main breaker

[Nick Vida]

Dick,

I think im in William's camp and you may have gathered from my earlier post in this thread. The actual logic and safety concerned in reality and practice may be totally true and valid from your perspective (and in reality), however the wording of the code allows for you to get a out of the blue expensive correction. it is really to obscure in trying to describe 2 senarios in one sentence and i know form a hell week that i had last week that if you run into ahj not being satisfied, you have some heat on your shoulders. I agree in theory that the feeder would always be unable to really be overloaded with the overcurrent protection there at the main breaker, only the bussing in the sub-panel is a concern. its just that the code is so well worded for daftness.
