I believe that John Wiles has stated this in a couple of places in print, therefore you may have a tough time justifying a way around the rule to an AHJ.
Supply side connections are very popular in this situation. -----Original Message----- From: "August Goers" <[email protected]> Sent: 3/2/2016 11:32 To: "RE-wrenches" <[email protected]> Subject: [RE-wrenches] NEC 705.12 Point of Connection - 120% rule for center-fed panelboards All – We are seeing more AHJs not allowing us to use the NEC 7015.12(D)(2)(3)(b) 120% rule on center-fed panelboards. For example, if we have a 100 A meter/main combo with a center fed 100 A breaker we cannot apply the 120% rule at all and need to do a panel swap. What are other wrenches doing in this case?
