This is heading in a direction I didn't want to but typically it is inevitable. To get back on topic and to use a simple example (sometimes I use too many words which adds too much confusion):
2 Family
1 panel in each unit served by its own meter
200A main in each panel (effectively 160A each)
Load calc for both units = 205A total (for example, not actual)
Sizing drip loop to meter pan SE for 300A is legit?
I guess the more I read through the code the more this seems fine. The confusion for me is that there seem to be specific things that address a single family (size your panel and SE to match your load calc), and 3 or more family where you do different calcs per unit and overall, but nothing specifically addressing 2 family. But now that I look again, it appears the "standard" multifamily calc applies to 2 fam, but the "optional" does not?
