Add Holes to Panel?

[blackmountain]

There shouldn't be any problem with punching a hole in the side of the meter main, right? I need to run some large feeders to the sub-panel to the left of it. I have to get three 3/0 wires from the panel on the right, to the one on the left, and using conduit bodies would be tight...even with 2". There are knockouts on the bottom that I can use, using the sides would be a lot cleaner (I think?)

Thanks

Okay, and no need for water-proof if below energized parts.

He's talking about a NEMA 3R wireway which would be fine but as Larry said, keep your holes below energized parts and have at it

And if you do go above energized parts, use a Myers hub or sealing locknuts.
