The break out panel is a connection where there are breakers all around to protect all the connections. You need to confirm that PG&E will require a disco, you might to eliminate a breaker though. The breakout panel is not always approved either. Can you upgrade the panel with dual 200 amp outputs, one goes to a breaker bus and the other just taps out. This would be less of a liability issue l would think also.

Is the only a way to back feed 128 amps (240v, split PH) <br class="">
onto a 200 amp panel is to tap the conductors between the meter and the <br class="">
main CB, assuming I can pull it off in the "customer section" of the <br class="">
panel. Of course with the requisite AC disco within 10 feet. Or, has <br class="">
anybody ever gotten a written approval from a panel manu to thread a <br class="">
1/4" hole in a bus between the meter and the main CB to install a lug <br class="">
for accepting a backfeed source?<br class="">
