Hi,
I tapped onto feeder conductors being supplied by a 200A OCPD. I used #3 wire and took them to a 100amp fused disconnect. Is this within code or do I need #3/0 even if I go to the 100A fused disconnect? Will there ever be the possibility of more than 100 amps on those conductors? maybe only in a fault condition, right?
Thanks for your help!
