Oh... This is in reference to Table 310-15(b)(6),
100A feed through discos are unavailable here, we generally use load centers for discos (raintite). Does the feeder from the first load center (being used as a disco) to the second (being used as the main panel) qualify as a service feeder, or is it a sub feed??
BTW the EI passed a similar install just a few weeks ago... It was fed from a 200A panel with #2 SER (most around here would have used SE) and was obviously a sub panel.
Would using a main breaker in the sub panel instead of a MLO make any difference in the definition of the intended use of the cable?
This code loop could triple the price of a sub panel install for me and put me out of the competition, I can't be the only one complying with codes that "no one has heard of" around here... and expect to make money, or even get the jobs in the first place!
