Hello everyone,
Thank you for having me here. I'm having a power upgrade done on my shop and I have been tasked with finding the meter panel. The POCo has given me their requirements as being a ring-type panel with bypass. It is single phase 600 amp. I cannot find a panel that is 600 amp with ring and bypass. We were originally going to install a "dual 400" but after months of communication with the engineer at the POCo, he emails me to inform that "after speaking with the meter shop, and researching NEC" we cannot install two panels on the building and I cannot have 800 amp without going to 3-phase, which is two miles away.
Does this all sound correct?
I'm having a hard time taking his word, and my electrician is not available at the moment.
Does anyone know of a manufacturer of a 600 amp ring-type panel with bypass?
Is it possible to have one custom made by Eaton or Milbank?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
