A common install on my side of the country is as follows:
4x4" PVC, with 4x600KCMil Cu., from pad mount to gear, bottom entry.
CT Section and distribution in adjacent sections.
(NO Main OCP)
Sq D 3R equipment is nice; other brands are choices based on $$$, availability, and personal preferences.
However, a check with your local AHJ, and local POCO should be your first step, as local rules may apply.
On a personal note, the possibility/probability of the 'future' of the site should also be considered. I have seen quite a few of 'MLO' installs having to be replaced with 'MOCP' due to space/tenant changes.
Feeder breaker buss should allow the replacement of a 200 amp original CB with a larger frame IF needed down the road.
Comments are just thoughts from my experiences.
Thank you for this info. Is it OK to install some of the outgoing feeders later while the panel is hot and in service??? Only 4 may of the 6 will be wired up initially. The remaining two will be left for expansion.
