I am working at a house that has an unusual setup for the generator.
The house has a 400 amp service. Two 200 amp panels side by side in the basement.
It appears a generator was added at a later date. The generator supplies a 100 amp panel next to the two existing panels.
All of the circuits in panel #2 were moved to the other panels.
The 100 amp generator panel is also a sub panel of panel #1.
There is a lock on the two 100 amp breakers to allow only one breaker to be ON.
I don't understand this setup?
