I was called for an electrical service inspection for a service on a 2 unit house. It originally had a 200A service with 2 100A meter bases and panels.
It is now being upgraded to accomodate 2 200A panels. No calculation were submitted with the permit application from what I am told.
I found a 2 gang meter base with a center blank manufactured by Landis, catalog # UA2717=YPZA.
Here is the problem. The label states that it is a 200A meter base and also states "200A total". I failed the inspection for this reason not to mention the 500kcmil xhhw aluminum drop for this type of service.
I normally see the Milibank meter bases that are clearly marked 400A and 200A per meter.
The Landis rep is trying to tell me this is OK but his product label says different.
Anyone else have any experience with these?
