Friends:
Excuse the flurry of posts here, but I've got a lot of varied projects
currently, creating a lot of questions.
I came upon a 200 amp main breaker feeding two sub-panels. The installer
had put 3/0 and #1 under each lug to feed a 200 amp panel another sub-panel
with a 100 amp main. Obviously this is wrong in at least two regards.
What is the correct method to feed two 200 amp sub-panels from one main.
Can you tap the output leads of the main breaker to feed 2 200 amp panels as
long as the wire is sized correctly and the connector is listed? In my 35
years I have never come upon this scenario.
Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your sage advice.
