I have a 208 volt, 3 pH. , 250 amp branch circuit with a safety switch at the equipment. The equipment has been removed from service and replaced with a unit that only requires 35 amp ocpd. Can I make a branch circuit tap at the 250 amp safety switch and feed a new 60 amp fused safety switch with 35 amp fuses to supply the new equipment? The old circuit is considered a branch circuit but if a "tap" is made like I suggested it would become a feeder. Is this even code compliant? We're using 2008 NEC.
