Hello All,
Simple question I hope. Was at a home today, main panel and 3 interior panels with subpanel on exterior detached building, to boot there was a vacated main panel acting as a subpanel.
All subpanels, interior and exterior had more than 6 throws to turn all off and all were protected upstream at panels with OCD for disconnect.
On the interior 1 of the subpanels was fed by main service panel and was OK. The vacated main that is now a subpanel is feeding the other 3 subpanels....the two other interior and 1 exterior
The detached building has about 12 throws all together and I assume needs it's own disconnect and GES (wasn't visible).
Is anything different that one could think of as a sub is feeding multiple subs??
Are subs on interior of same structure as main exempt from the 6 throw rule? I realize the detached is not..I think my head got turned around looking at all this today
Two of the interior subpanels being fed by vacated main that is now acting as a subpanel on exterior of home (looks like they added on &
installed new panel)
