Hello im currently installing an eg418k which is fed by a 40A breaker at the end of a 200A main panel from the grid side. the load side supports a 100A subpanel/critical loads panel and after moving the critical loads I’ve discovered most of the remaining non essential circuits are either nonfunctional or completely unneeded to the point that only 100amps of circuit breakers will remain in the main 200amp panel. If the total draw in the main panel could ever be 100amp would I be able to increase the 40amp backfed breaker without overloading the bus in this situation and remaining code compliant? Thanks for helping everyone!
