Disconnect fed from circuit breaker in panel. Coming off line side in disconnect to another disconnect (fused). Disconnect #1 is fed with #4 thhn cu.
Disconnect #2 is fed with ?#10 or ?#12 . I couldnt get up to it today to see for sure. Disconnects are maybe 10ft apart.
Is this a correct tap scenario? I am getting a bit turned around in the tap rules. Thanks for any help.
 
What size is the circuit breaker that feeds the 2 discos?

And what is the rating of the discos, and what size fuses do they have installed?

Is this inside or outside?

CB is 80A First disco 100A rated. Fuses will be 70's Second disco is 30A rated. Fused at 10A
It is inside.
 
Appears to meet the 240.21 tap rules but historically such installations are a violation of 110.14 termination rules as the lugs on the 100 amp disconnect aren't normally rated for two conductors
