nawao said:The right solution is relocating the meter upstream of the ATS.
This would be the only way this would work, if the POCO allowed it. The drawing shown in the first post will shunt the meter in either position, The normally closed contacts need to feed the line side of the meter, with the normally open contacts tied to the load side of the meter with the panel feed. The common would tie to the 1200 amp distribution panel, besides, a 150 amp contactor enclosure is no smaller than some 150 amp transfer switches, so where is the room gained? Generacs 200 amp single phase transfer switch is around 18" X 24" or so. (go to Generacs web site for exact dimensions)
