Can you use a MLO as a main service panel, with a service disconnect further down on the supply side? If yes, would I need to back feed it with a 100A breaker, and is that allowed by code? I've been searching through my code book all night and it seems to dance all around it, but I can't seem to find a clear answer. As for using it as a main service panel, it seems to me by what I've read that it's fine, with a service disconnect ahead of it. As far as back feeding, I've heard people on both sides, but the way I understand 408.36 (D) is that it's not an issue as long as you fasten the breaker down. I'm assuming it's okay to do the back feed method for that reason, but I still don't know if there is any reason I couldn't do that with service equipment. I would appreciate some input on this, and preferably the code articles to reference as well. Thanks!
