No, it is not recommended to use a 200A disconnect to feed a 100A main panel. The disconnect should always be rated equal to or higher than the main panel it is feeding to ensure proper protection and capacity handling. It is important to match the amperage ratings to avoid potential overload and safety hazards.

Can you feed a 60 amp sub panel from another 60 amp sub panel?

Yes, you can feed a 60 amp sub panel from another 60 amp sub panel as long as the total connected load does not exceed 60 amps. Make sure to properly size the wire and protect the circuits with appropriate breakers to ensure safe operation of the sub panel.


How do you wire a circuit panel?

This type of question usually means you aren't ready to do this yourself. Study some electrical material and the National Electrical Code and work this answer out for yourself. If I were to give you an answer, you might attempt to do something you shouldn't be doing, and that may cost someone a shock, a home fire, or their life.


What is the main power feed for a house?

The main power feed for a house is typically provided by the local utility company through overhead or underground electrical lines. This feed connects to the main electrical panel in the house, which distributes electricity to the various circuits and outlets in the home.


How do you wire floating neutral in sub panel?

You need to be more specific. Is this your feed?? Is this a home run (the wire that is feeding a circuit). Anyway if this is your feed wire (the wire supplying power to your sub panel) then you will land your two hots , then you will land your ground wire on the lug that is bonded to the panel. Sometimes this is a ground bar that can be screwed to the panel itself and then your neutral will go to the bar that is not touching anything. So your neutral coming in will be tightened down to the same bar as the neutrals that are feeding the circuits. This is assuming you'r are feeding your sub panel with 2 hots, a ground and a neutral.


Can you use a 40 amp breaker to feed a sub panel?

Yes, you can use a 40 amp breaker to feed a sub panel. The wire from the 40 amp breaker must be #8 or larger. If you intend to use the full 40 amps a larger conductor must be used. Conductors can only be loaded to 80% capacity in continuous load conditions. A #8 wire is rated at 45 amps x 80% = 36 amps. The suggested size would be a #6 rated at 65 amps x 80% = 52 amps.

Can you feed a 208v 200amp panel from 480v 20amp circuit?

Not directly, you would need to transform 480v circuit to 120v with a transformer first.


I have a Transformer 480 primary 208 secondary feeding 1 200amp mb 42 space panel I need to feed a subpanel 6 ft away I'm thinkin feed through lug at top of bus or at feed through MB suggestions?

The sub-panel need to be fed from the main panel, by way of a circuit breaker connected to one of the breaker locations. Or if your sub-panel has a main breaker installed you can feed from the main panel with a sub-feed lug kit. This looks like a breaker, but is only a point where you can branch off the sub panel.


Can you feed a 200 amp sub panel from a 200 amp panel?

Judging by your question I'm going to take a guess and say you should probably not attempt to do this yourself. Nor do I recommend it. That being said. You can either have your service upgraded to 200amp, and install a 100amp double pole breaker and branch it off into a 100 amp sub panel. You could most likely re-use your old panel for the 100 amp sub panel. Or... You could have your new 200 amp panel installed in a different location and your current panel wired into it for 100 amps.


How does the feed through panel function in the electrical system?

The feed through panel in an electrical system allows for the connection of multiple circuits by passing power through the panel without the need for individual connections.

What are the key features and benefits of a feed thru panel for electrical distribution systems?

A feed thru panel for electrical distribution systems allows for power to be distributed efficiently and safely. Its key features include multiple input and output ports, circuit breakers for protection, and easy installation. The benefits of a feed thru panel include improved organization of electrical connections, reduced risk of overload, and enhanced system flexibility.


Can you tap meter and feed panel in detached garage?

No. Any connections to the detached garage have to be after the main disconnect of your house panel. You have two options here. You can replace meter with a meter disconnect combo and have the main feed your house and add a breaker to feed the garage or You could install a 400 ap service and place two disconnects at the meter. one for the house and one for the garage. unless you are going to have a serious electrial load in the garage you sould just feed off the panel in the house for cost effectiveness.


What are the key features and benefits of a 200 amp feed through panel for residential or commercial electrical systems?

A 200 amp feed-through panel for electrical systems in homes or businesses allows for higher electrical capacity, accommodating more circuits and devices. This can support increased power demands and reduce the risk of overloading. Additionally, the panel's feed-through design simplifies installation and maintenance, providing a more efficient and organized electrical system.
