<div dir="auto">Bill<div dir="auto">The meter main is an UL approved product, any alterations may effect that in the eyes of the inspector or PG&E. I have done a breakout panel where l was exceeding the 20% rule but a 128 amp still may be an issue. 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. These panels do what you want and are UL Approved. </div><div dir="auto">Jerry</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Aug 27, 2019, 10:40 AM frenergy <<a href="mailto:frenergy@psln.com">frenergy@psln.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Wrenches,<br>

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