Existing 120/208 Volt, 3-phase, 4-wire, 200 Amp service... see pic. Feed comes into 200A fused safety switch on left, then into tray where it divides to 200A load center in picture (no main CB) and through pipe to remote location where is another fused switch serving an adjacent 100A load center and a 200A load center (both with main CB's).
Upgrading service to 400 Amp. Want to come into the tray, then tap 200A into existing fused switch on left which will continue to feed the existing load center in picture and the remote 100A load center only (so the pipe on the right would stay). Then provide another 200A tap in the tray through a new safety device and out through a new pipe to the remote 200A load center. Problem is there's not a ton of room -- closet ends with the white strip of wood on right. Can relocate telephone gear out of the way. Would like to use an enclosed breaker (200A) C-H ECCVH200S (which says it is approved for service entrance) located on the right in place of the telephone gear. The reason being the enclosed CB is 9" wide whereas another fused safety switch is 19" wide with handle and won't fit. Probably will extend tray.
Question: Is it OK for the 2-200A taps to feed through different style devices -- the fused safety switch and the enclosed CB?
Is there anything else wrong with my plan?
This is probably simple, but thanks in advance for help.
