Hey I just got my license a few months ago. I've been doing service work for many years I didn't do work that required inspection often. I have a job where there are 2 panels that are not in the same room or near the meters. The customer wants the panels to be metered. There is a 200 amp fused main switch for the building. From the switch the conductors go into a trough and they tapped the conductors to go to the meter, then back down into their respective panels. I wanted to use 1 existing meter socket, come off the load side, exit the enclosure to feed a new feed through breaker. I would do all the bonding and gec there. I want this to serve as service disconnect/ocpd. That way the existing uf on the load side of the breaker would be a feeder and I can avoid a massive rewiring project. When I was getting prices from the guy at the supply who Is an intelligent guy he said aren't we putting the breaker ahead of the meter nowadays? I searched through 230 and it looks like the meter can be ahead of the disconnect.
I just want to make sure I'm doing this right and he made me start questioning what I wanted to do. Am I missing something? Thanks for any help.
