Nick Sasso Post-A-Holic Member Registered: 11/08/01 Posts: 1451 Loc: West Palm Beach	Q1: When using the residential feeder reduction (200 amp service = 2/0 instead of 3/0) is it still permissible to further reduce the neutral if given the proper calculation showing the maximum unbalanced load on the neutral conductor? Q2: If the answer to #1 is yes, then I would be correct to assume that the breakers would have to be installed EXACTLY like the panel schedule layout shows, in order to get the proper balancing. Yes? _________________________

Mike Timpanaro Post-A-Holic Member Registered: 04/10/01 Posts: 1104 Loc: Ocklawaha FL.	Yes to both Questions. The neutral may be reduced in size provided the requirements of 215.2, 220.61, & 230.42 are met. _________________________ Michael J Timpanaro Inspector/Plans Examiner/CEU Instructor Florida
