I'm upgrading an existing service for a residence from 100 to 200 amps. I'm looking to see that I understand the 2020 code on this.
I am using a combination meter socket/main breaker. I believe I can make this the main service disconnect or I can use the main breaker in the load center as the service disconnect. The difference being that in the former I can run three conductors to the load center and the latter I must run four conductors and treat it like a sub-panel. The only other difference would be where the GECs terminate. Do I have this right?
