how would you add a generac transfer switch to this type of meter disconnect combo
Hi was wondering what type of wire I can use in a metal conduit riser down to my meter combo for an overhead service ? I know I need 4/0-4/0-20 for a 200 amp service but don’t know what type of wire to use
What screws did use for the service box mounted ?
What are those 1/2 moon metal shields are for?? Surrounding the line and load for the meter?
The meter combo as mentioned in the 2020 NEC has been put on hold because of Covid. It has been revised in the 2023 NEC and will be implemented sometime in early 2024.
Hi, does that mean I can run two separate panels from one meter?
Meter Main
So would you still need to have a main breaker at the main branch circuit box if you are installing it indoors??? Or would you treat it as a sub panel??? As of for the 2020 code.
What's going to happen in the 2020 is you're going to be required to have a disconnect outside.
You can accomplish that many ways, a couple of examples are using a regular meter and then dropping below and putting a disconnect that would be your first point of Disconnect that's where you would Bond everything.
Another way is to put a meter disconnect combo, there are other ways for these are probably the two most popular.
Great question!
If you’re just upgrading the panel, can you just use the existing meter socket?
Depending on the situation it is possible that you could leave the old meter socket there, definitely want to work with your electrical inspector there are several things that could make it so you have to replace it.
Is this sold as a seperate device ? I have a meter can already set, but no outside panel.I understand the inside panel will have to have grounds and neutrals seperated, but I am trying to avoid getting into the top portion of the meter can
you can set it up where it is separate definitely work with your electrical inspector on this one!
Wow that’s crazy, and it will make the price of installs and upgrades go up. Thanks for the info!
Yep when the 2020 and later get adopted there are going to be a world of Huge Changes!!!
So will the homeowner be able to use this disconnect themselves if needed?
It is on the customer side.
👍👍
Must be a southern thing. I don't see them up here in PA. I deliver top soil and stone to new housing plans. I don't see outside cutoffs just the meter 🤷♂️
Yep its a newer deal and when you state adopts the 2020 NEC or later they will be mandatory
@@electricianhub86 Hopefully not my state is retarded as it lol. The more they try to think the more there brains hurt 😕
So basically the meter combo is pointless if your main interior panel is now considered a sub panel. Might as well just add a separate disconnect box. This new ER disconnect BS by just going to force people to put their main panel box outside or go back to the boxes without plug on neutrals since all interior main panels will now be automatically considered sub panels.
