Re: [RE-wrenches] Load Side Tap

Max, Don't do the tap alone, you would be overdriving the subpanel. You would need 200A of OCP somewhere between the tap and sub panel loads. Convert the MOL to a 200A Main Breaker or install a 200A fused disconnect between the tap and the MLO subpanel. Mark Frye Berkeley Solar Electric
