Electrical Diagram

If POI is in Meter/Main combo and sub panel is more than 25ft away from MSP, we need to add New OCPD (MBE) outside by MSP to protect feeders for sub panel (NEC 705.12(B)(2)/NEC 240.21). If POI is in Meter/Main, we need to add MB to interior sub panel to protect feeders if our backfeed + MB exceeds ampacity of feeder rating and sub panel needs to be included on plansets in this scenario.
