I wont to add another 200amp panel to this main panel can I add a double lug kit to this panel in order to get the hot legs I need? Then add a ground kit to both neutral and ground bars?


p.s. any ideas on tying the main feed back away of the panel screws?

Good god!

I have a VERY hard time believing Sq D intended for lugs to be installed there! You can see those wires block all those breaker spaces! Factory feed-thru panels usually have the lugs at the bottom of the panel tapped right off the bussing, not in the middle of the panel like yours.

The proper way to install large feeders into a panel that didn't come with factory feed thru lugs is to use a sub feed lug kit, I did a little googling and it looks like the part # is QO2225SL from catalog page 7:
