I have a question regarding parallel feeders to a panel. I am used to only running 1/0 and larger parallel conductors but have not seen this although I think I know the answer.
So this is in an industrial building and someone had run parallel 2/4 Aluminum MC ( to save money I've been told) to a 120/208v 200A MB Panel. I need to extend this panel to a different location.
310.10(H)(1) Exception 1 is the only thing I see that allows this but not in this situation. Does exception #2 allow for this since they have a facilities person on site?

No, exception #2 is for paralleling a neutral to deal with harmonics in existing installations.
