Main panel powered directly through breaker?
Hi Everyone,

Ran into something I had never seen before in a 2-family apartment I was inspecting yesterday. The main service for the house was 100 amp copper that entered two clipped utility panels in conduit above the main panels for each apartment. (see picture) The main panel for the second floor (see second picture) appears to be powered by the 50 amp breaker as opposed to the main lug in the upper left. I have enough other issues in the main panel for the first floor to call for an electrician, but I was hoping for some feedback on this...

Thanks in Advance,
Chris
