The Power Company out in the county not under local inspection provides combo meter mains.
On the 400 Amp Combo.They come with (2) 200 Amp 1ph Feeder Breakers.(Not 1 400).
They are telling the customer that these can be used for 400 Amp Services and typically they are for
(2) Seperate 200 Amp MLO Panels)
But.
The Customers and electricians that dont know any better are thinking that they can install a Single 400 AMP Panel and take a feed from each 200a breaker in the Meter/Main to the single 400a Panel.
Hearing this floored me.
But off the top of my head I could see where someone could actually do this and never know it was wrong.
