I am reviewing a set of plans that has 3#2/0 (+ GND not important for this discussion!) coming out of a panel "1M" (125A MCB) , and splitting in a wire trough so that there are now 2 sets of 3#2/0, each set going to separate MLO panels (panels "2N" and "2S"). From each of the MLO panels they run 3#2/0 to another MLO panel (panels "4S" and "4N" respectively). I am considering this a tap which means that they need to comply with 240.21 (B)(1) and/or 240.21 (B)(2). The question is, do they need to have the first set of panels ("2N" and "2S") have to be MCB or can they remain MLO per the code?
