I want to know if the installation of a Veris meter in the MDP with 18 ga fussed taps off of a 2400 buss, meets this code. it is in the encloser, it is less than 10 feet, it is field installed. is the fusses on the 18ga tap the overcurrent device on the line side or is this refering to the 2400 main breaker for the 1000% tap conductor ampacity?
430.28 Feeder Taps ? Feeder tap conductors shall have an ampacity
not less than that required by Part II (Part II addresses the sizing of
conductors for specific loads, consult the NEC for details), shall
terminate in a branch-circuit protective device, and, in addition,
shall meet one of the following requirements:
1. Be enclosed either by an enclosed controller or by a raceway, be
not more than 10 ft. (3.0 m) in length, and, for field installation,
be protected by an overcurrent device on the line side of the tap
conductor, the rating or setting of which shall not exceed 1000
percent of the tap conductor ampacity.
