residential feeder taps

[JoeNorm]

Oh of course. MLO service panelboards were removed from the 2020 so I am guessing exception #1 basically was deleted, and what used to be exception 2 in the 2014 is now exception 1. IMO that is one of the worst code changes and I guess I struck it from my memory in hopes it would go away.

I honestly dont even understand what that exception is saying.

I don't really understand it either. What I wanted it to mean was that I could feed a main lug panel with a feeder tap as long as the sum of the breakers in the panel does not exceed the rating of the panel. That makes logical sense to me.

I don't believe that is what is meant by two main circuit breakers or fuses on the supply side.
