Hello All,
I currently am doing an upgrade to my apartment.
I have coordinated with Utility Company to provide me a 200A service feed to my Meters.
I have then purchases a 3 Socket Meter Panel.
Each Meter Socket is rated 200A. AND my BUS is Rated 400A.
I spoke to the contractor and he stated that the Bus needs to be rated at 600A. However, I don't think that is true. Contractor is multiplying 200A * 3 to obtain 600A which I see where he is coming from.
Therefore, please advise.
Is contractor correct or no.
