This house had two main panels, one on each side of the meter. Additional single-pole circuits have been added to these panels during the 35 years since the home was built. Each main feeds a sub-panel in the home. One main panel has four throws and one has six. If I understand the rule, this situation is okay since each of the two service entrances is protected by no more than six throws. Just want to double-check because years ago in a CEU class, the instructor said that a house can have no more than six throws to cut all power off to the home and I've never seen more than six total even with two main panels like this.
What is not right though, is that with this configuration, all breakers in the main panels must be double-pole, correct?
