Hello,

I'm just about ready to change out my FPE Panel to a Square D QO 40/40.

The new panel is a Convertible panel From Main Breaker to Main Lug.

The panel is a 200amp service panel.

My existing panel would be a sub panel downstream.. inside my garage.. "No Main Breaker"

My Main breaker panel is located outside. 150amp panel..

My question is The Square D 200amp has the Breaker already installed....

I want to use this as a MAIN LUG..... Can I use the Panel as is with the 200amp Main factory installed.. and just not bond the Netural?

or do I need to get a conversion kit...

The Main FPE Panel outside has a 150 amp Main in the panel.

TIA

Edit:

The Main breaker is attached to the garage on the outside..

I'm just not sure If I can use the new panel with the 200amp breaker in it.. I would think that it would benefit me to have another disconnect on the sub panel..

again the Main outside is a 150amp and the new panel has a 200amp bolt in main..
