Sub-panel

[frofro19]

Is a hold-down kit required in a main pan for a breaker supplying power to a sub-panel in the basement? Such as a 90 anp breaker feeding a 100 amp panel.

I believe that a hold down kit is required when you are backfeeding a main lug panel.

Not required. An "input" breaker would need one, not an "output" breaker.

No, it's my understanding they are ussually used when you are adding a main to a main lug panel and back feeding it, ( I agree with the others)
