I want to add 3 two hundrend amp panels to a residential property. However, there does not seem to be an mult meter-socket which would allow this; unless I goto 6 one hundred panels. It's my understanding that panels over two hundrend amps are for commertial use only (I could be wrong about that). So that means 3 separate meter sockets. I plan to use PVC conduit to run up the side of the house to where the utility can make thier connections. I'm uncertain if I need to run every thing in one conduit or if I can run them idiviually each in their own conduits? Also do I need to keep each TOP close together? Then I was thinking maybe I need to group the ends together with a lug capible of holding many cables so there would be only one connection for the utility? Plus I don't know if in Ohio I need to add a disconnect under each meter? (Sorry, my background and experience is with industrial drives and plc controls, the incoming power is already installed by the time I get to site and plus this is residential.)
Kind Regards
