600 amp service

[mannyb]

could a 600a service be installed using a 600a disconnect with a riser with 500mcm? the service will have to be open CT metered but is it ok to be done this way?

Yes, Paralleled

600 amp disconnect with 600 amp fuses ?

yes sir! i figure it would be less work and expense than parallel.

(1) set of 500s per phase rated 380 amps on a 600 amp overcurrent device ? What Code section are your relying on ?

LOL! I wasnt even paying attention to my own post. i was wondering what went wrong...Me!!

The service is 600a 240v single phase 3w, if i paralleled 350mcm does that sound better?

Yes if you mean 350 kcmil copper.

What is the calculated load?

Are you locked into a full 600 amps?

It will be, until it fails the inspection

I know you corrected yourself already though.
