Do you think 550.32(C) would allow a mobile home with a 100A service to have two 50A receptacles used to feed the inside panel. The 100A service is a 100A MB panel. Each receptacle is protected by a 50A breaker in the service panel. There are two cords, each with a 50A plug/cord cap, the other end is hardwired into the inside panel. The inside panel is a split bus panel. It has two 50A main breakers and each cord lands on a 50A breaker. Each main breaker protects one bus section.
This is an existing installation that I had to replace the service due to the ice storm we had.
I didn't take the time to check out all the requirements at the time. I just wanted to get the peoples power back on because of the freezing temperatures. The HO sent me a picture of the "rejection" sticker left by the inspector. I haven't talked to him yet, but I'm sure the cords, plugs, and receptacles are what he rejected it on.
