Default Main breaker location

*Anything is possible. *As RBM said if there are six circuits or less no
main is required. *Also as mentioned before the panel could be a split buss
and no main would be required for the entire panel, but the 40 amp breaker
could be the main for the lower half. *You can remove the panel cover to see
if it is a split buss. *If this is an older house it is possible that this
is a sub-panel and the main panel or main disconnect is located somewhere
else. *It is possible to have the main disconnect at the meter location..
Where is this panel in relation to the electric meter? *Is this a single
family house or a multifamily dwelling such as a condominium.?

If a service panel is feeding a subpanel 150' away in a separate
building, would the subpanel then require it's own disconnect?
