A prospective client has a 200 amp meter / main / combo. There are
only a few breakers in it feeding the well, the pool house / barn and the
garage. There is no breaker feeding the sub panel in the laundry
room that has all of the branch circuit breakers for the house.
Instead there is a plug-on connection block feeding a large gauge
aluminum romex feeder into that sub-panel. The plug-on connection
block has hex set screws large enough to handle the feeder
conductors.<br><br>
Having no circuit breaker, this feeder is over-current protected by the
200 amp main breaker. Is this legal?<br><br>
<font size=3>To rephrase the question: Does a feeder require a
dedicated circuit breaker?<br><br>
