The incoming, from the xfer switch, is fed into a two pole 50A CB (MAIN) making the vertical buss bars energized. The buddy plug is connected to the “Main lugs” and is protected by the two pole 50A CB as are all the other breakers.
An electrician’s jargon!
Excellent to know. I am sure I would be confused if I was looking inside the panel and saw that it was a MLO load center and there were wires on it plus it had a main breaker back-feeding the panel.
Not sure how I feel about this though, I think I would rather it have its own breaker to be able to isolate the buddy plug if need be.
I ended up adding a buddy plug to my Wanderlodge. I ended up using tandem breakers to free up some space in the panel for the buddy plug breaker. I did this with the convenience outlet circuits that I knew that there would not be much load on them.
