The #6 ! If he had full size (120 amp in his case if I recall correctly) conductors then any sub-panel with a rating that high would be considered to be protected by the (feeder main).
Once he reduced to a #6, that conductor meets the Art 240 definition of a "tap" and must be protected per the 240.21 tap rules.
Did I overlook or misread something ?
No, it was me that missed the #6!:slaphead:
Edit: Just so you know I'm not totally crazy I went back and reread the thread. You mentioned tap before the OP mentioned the #6. I was wondering how you concluded it was a tap before that. But you see this more than me so I guess you have a "nose for it"!
