200 amp sub panel
Again, running sub in shop from a main panel which is a 2000 amp in shop.
Instead of running a 100 sub from the main can I use a standard 200 amp panel therfore using all 200 amp sub provided I have the wiring and breakers riight??

After reading it again I could not understand it either.
From a main, for my sub panel can I use a standard 200 amp panel thereby allowing me to have more breakers in the sub than if I had run a a smaller 100 amp panel.
Wire from main to sun will be #2 gauge about 45ft.
I understand can not use at "one time any more than about 100 amps" in the sub "at one time".
The sub will be on a 100 amp breaker "from" the main panel.
Is this any better??
