I have a project where there are concerning issues with the sizing of their Device and feeders.
There is a 100A service. On the service disconnect/panel there is a 200A breaker and 125A breaker, feeding downstream panels.
Technically if the overcurrent protective devices are rated for their associated existing feeders I believe it should be safe, but are there any code violations?
At the least it's a poor design because it promotes unnecessary false tripping if the total load exceed 100A.
Code articles would be awesome if you have any.
Thanks,
