Should the required emergency disconnect for a single family dwelling be located 300’ from the house where the Utility meter base is located?
Inspector says yes because all disconnects have to be grouped together.
There is currently one disconnect next to the meter base that’s feeding the detached garage that the meter base is mounted on. Because that’s there he’s saying the other one needs to be as well.
I proposed running the underground service conductors ( 3 wire) directly from the meter to the house and setting the Emergency Disconnect there .
Am I wrong?
Thanks
