<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color:
#000000;font-size: 10pt;">Good point Ross. The panel is marked
as a 200A with no indication that the bus has a higher rating,
so I've assumed 200A. I considered downsizing the MB, but it's
an discontinued panel, and filled to capacity so not exactly
ideal.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Garrison<br>

<div>Hi Garrison,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is a great discussion and I think I've read all
the responses. If I missed this question, please forgive
me. But, in your original post you refer to a 200 amp
service. I don't, though, see mention of the rating of
the bus bars. The bus bars may be rated for something
more than 200 amps, depending upon the panel, even if
they're protected by a 200 amp main disconnect. If so,
that would increase your backfeed breaker sizing options.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Best wishes, </div>
