I hope to find a 3R 100 amp MCB panel with the fewest amount of spaces possible that I can install a generator feed to and a generator CB interlock. So that would be a 100 MCP panel with as little as four spaces. Due to space constraints it needs to be very small.
My plan is to connect the new panel to an existing 3R 100 amp meter/main. Connect the existing 100 amp load (that feeds the house) to a 2 pole 100 and connect a 30 amp 2 pole to the generator thru an inlet. The interlock is to prevent the 2 pole 100 and the 2 pole 30 from being on at the same time.
I can't do this the noraml way (at the main house panel, which is technically a sub-panel) because there just isn't any room to modify the existing panel and there is no space in it to add a generator CB.
Any ideas what panel and interlock might do the job?
