stealing power with the 30a fused disco?
Fused and non-fused conductors in the same enclosure.
Depending on where and who inspects it - that one is up in the air - I can often go 40'+ But I have to say I don't trust it by the look of whats outside.In reading the comments in the NEC Handbook, it mentions that ?No maximum distance is specified from the point of entrance of service conductors to a readily accessible location for the installation of the service disconnecting means. . . . "
480, Where do you see that ?
Could you not use replacement cans that have the main built into them? I know there is a CH meter main combo that is barely larger than a standard meter can. I installed one a while back...200 amp main breaker...I think the cost was less than $150. I would assume you can get them with lower than 200 amp mains. I think that would satisfy what the AHJ wants done without having to do a ton of reconstruction. But then, you would technically need to run 4 wire as the inside panel becomes a sub panel. (Unless I am missing something) And the wire could be correctly sized for the breaker rating.
I would not be surprised if there was no inspection done. Alot of smaller counties did not get into the inspection business until the 90's.
