ok let me try to explain better..
two meters. one gen to a gentran 8cir trans sw
thought was to take 4 circuits from each panel to trans switch
either by nippling the panles or a 6x6 between panels.
this is not a whole house switch but 4 circuits.
the only thing would be that circuits from each tenants panel
would be together in the same enclosure...
thanks
The problem with having two meters is the law will treat each meter as a cash register, without having a separation of circuits from these two services the POCO could say power is being stolen or could be stolen.
even though one family is using both units, an agreement would have to be allowed by the serving utility before such kind of cross wiring could ever be allowed.
the only way I could see this as a compliant install would be if you was to install two of these transfer panels, one in each unit, where only the generator supply would be common in each transfer panel but each transfer panel would have only the circuits for that unit in it.
The problem is even tho its under common control now, there is no recourse for a building department to require corrections if at a later time this family was to try to rent out one of the units. so unless both units were rewired to allow one meter to supply both units, I would require two transfer panels to keep each units wiring seperate to each unit.
