So we installed a CH 400 amp meter main combo -- CG1212P400BSL--- The unit has a meter off to the left side and there is a barrier between the meter and the panel section. The load side of the meter has 2- 3/0 compact conductors- (not 2 sets, just 2)- feeding the panel buss. On that buss is a 200 amp main breaker and a space to add another 200 amp breaker-bolt in-if you choose. The installed main feeds a 12 cir. panel with feed thru lugs.
I ran two sets of 3/0 to each of my 200 amp panels. Now first is this compliant? I have NC state inspector saying he would turn it down even tho it is factory installed compact conductors. He is in the process of calling UL and Cutler Hammer and is adamant this is not compliant.
Now if it is compliant then shouldn't I be allowed to run #4 copper to my GEC. BTW, I got the ruling from our state inspector while I was typing this.
