Sub Panel Wiring Question

I have a sub panel that does not have a dedicated breaker at the main panel. I found two breakers feeding the panel from the main that I am not familiar with. They do not have a switch. Any input would be appreciated.

Cheers!


What is your question?

Is the panel in photo #1 feeding the panel in photo #2?

MLO subpanel fed using a sub-feed breaker/lug. The feeder feeding the subpanel need to match ampacity that of the backfeed breaker (upper right) in the first pic.

Yes, the breaker on the left feeds the second panel.

Simon, thank you!

As Simon mentioned there is no breaker on the left. That is a bus tap device and has no OCP. The main is 125 amps what size are the conductors feeding the sub-panel?

I think you are missing a panel, both those pictures look like sub-panels, did not see a main breaker in either panel.

The back fed main is the CB on the upper right in photo #1.
