Is a meter still allowed to serve as the requirement of 230.70?

230.76 would seem to suggest, no, it is not allowed.. Was it ever allowed?

I think that at one time it was allowed... But I am not sure... Thanks for the reply..

I don't recall it ever being allowed, but 230.66 now specifically disallows such.

230.66 "individual meter socket enclosures shall not be considered service equipment"

So no, definitely, definitely, not good.

I don't think any revenue meter has ever been designed or tested to be used as disconnect.

What real funny is, if you don't pay the bill the power company has no problem using the meter as a disconnect:happyyes:.
