Hey guy's, I work offshore and i'm not as up on residential as some. I'm in the process of finishing my new home and I want to install a Kohler 20kw with the 200 amp ATS. We have a panel inside the laundry room that feeds all lighting and receptacle loads. I also have an 8 space meter combo that's feeding the well, crawl space lighting and HVAC inside and outside units. From where i'm at, it looks like to add the transfer switch i'm going to need a different meter/panel package because the meter now ties directly into the 8 space bus and I need to go from meter to transfer switch. My electrician says by law it has to stay that way because i'm only aloud 8 spaces on the outside panel and he can't change the meter till after inspection. I've never heard of this maximum outside circuits and I need more spaces for generator battery charger and and a future shop. My Electrician that pulled the permit seems overwhelmed and just doesn't want to do the work. He even mentioned that he doesn't know much about generators. Any advice out there on the maximum spaces and a different meter/panel setup. Thanks.
