Re: feed-through to subpanel?
Bob, yes there is a 200 Amp Main breaker in the main panel, and there is a 150 amp main in the subpanel. I had assumed that since the panels will not be within site of each other that there needed to be a 150 amp breaker feeding the subpanel in the main panel, but I could use lugs in the subpanel. I have never heard of anyone using main lugs in the main panel to feed a smaller main breaker in a subpanel. This project would not have been a problem if GE made a 150 Amp breaker for the main panel, so I have been concidering replacing the main panel with a SquareD panel and reusing the old main as the subpanel in the basement, since I can get a 150 amp breaker for a SquareD panel.
Also, could you please provide me with code references? I would like to study this more, but I haven't been able to locate this stuff in the code book.
Thanks for all the help, I really do appreciate you guys taking the time to help me.
Thanks,
Peter
