Given an existing 2AWG feed to a machine, with an unfused disconnect on the wall, and the machine with its own 100A breaker....
Is it allowable to put a subpanel at the disconnect, with a {subfeed} line/"main" breaker of ~30A, and several branch breakers?
The alternative I see is to replace the disconnect with a much larger subpanel, with its own 100A line breaker, 100A load breaker, and 30A load breaker.
Or pull separate feeds for the smaller circuit with its own subpanel.
