Home built in the 1970s
The existing 200 is located on the interior wall that runs perpendicular to the outside wall where meter base is. Its basically a standard application of coming out of the back of the meter base and entering into the side of the panel... The service feed is a 2" rigid conduit ran inside the 2x4 wall with 3 2/o's. This panel is within 2ft of the exterior of the home and doesn't need or have a emergency disconnect . I'm upgrading to a 400 by obviously just adding another 200 next to the existing one. My plan is to change out meter and riser and using the same 2" rigid to feed both panels with 2 separate sets of 2/o"s. The service wires for the 2nd panel will run thru the first panel and continue into a new conduit that ties the 2 panels together. The 2nd panels main will be about 36" inside of the house. with this being the case where or will i need emergency disconnect(s)
