gfretwell is exactly right about the need for the disconnects to be
grouped, I missed that. Whoever installed the second panel installed
a violation which should be fixed. So the second panel should be
converted to a subpanel of the first main panel, which would require a
4-wire feeder from the first main panel. Hopefully it wouldn't be too
hard to do since it is only 8 feet away.

Cheers, Wayne


That's kind of the direction I'm headed and why i asked. I'm pretty
sure there is spaces left in the main panel, so that shouldn't be a
problem to "re-feed" it properly, since i'm changing the second panel to
a breaker panel anyway.

THANKS for all the responses.
