This is identical to two 200-amp panels that each has a 160-amp continuous duty—that we put 40-amp breakers into on a routine basis. The “busbars” are rated for 200-amps each, just like a 200-amp panel. But just as you cannot run a 200-amp panel at 200-amps continuously (only 160-amps continuously), you cannot run a 400-amp panel at more than 320-amps continuously—it is the exact same thing.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Bill.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> re-wrenches-bounces@lists.re-wrenches.org [mailto:re-wrenches-bounces@lists.re-wrenches.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>John Powell<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, January 23, 2014 1:32 PM<br><b>To:</b> RE-wrenches<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [RE-wrenches] (RE-wrenches) 2x200 amp meter main panel question<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks WIlliam,<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Some of the old Milbank units are 320 amp rated socket.
