meter socket, 200a disconnect on pedistal

[Hendrix]

Am I right in thinking that, since the pedistal is a structure as defined in the NEC, that the feeders to the house need a main disconnect because there will be more than 6 throws of the hand?

I think 225.32 would require a disconnect on the house and if you are talking about a panel which presumably has multiple breakers in it then you would need a GEC as well because you probably dont meet 250.32(A). IMO it probably wouldn't have to be fused though.

Yes the house would have to have a disconnect installed in compliance with 225.31.

Also, keep in mind that the conductors from the meter/main combo are now a feeder (not service conductors) and so will require an EGC in addition to the neutral.
