Recently, we designed a job that have a existing switch which is HCP367VJ600 with existing meter, but we actually need 2 panels with 2 meters for the job. So i am wondering if we can reuse that existing switch? Is there any problem? More detail would be very nice. i would really appreciate if you could help me out. BTW the switch is unfused. Thanks.
1 disconnected switch with 2 meter?

IMO, as long as you don't exceed the rating of the switch it cares less whats connected to it.
Conductors would need to be protected at their ampacity.
That said, the devil is in the details. Can you provide a bit more info especially considering its a NF switch.

It would be rare where the utility would permit a disconnect on the line side of their cash register.
The problem is our senior engineer said we can not reuse that switch, and i am kinda not trust him...My question is how we know if we can reuse that 600 amp switch mentioned above?

What was the reason the engineer gave you on why the switch could not be reused?
Is it damaged in any way?
He didn't explain too much.
US2:HCP367VJ600 the one we used.
He gave another 600amp switch which didn't have model number.

Well, then we cannot very well really give a sound reason to invalidate his decision.
