We are having a service entrance rated (with overcurrent protection) ATS installed outside.
Currently, the underground service lateral turns up into a meter, then service entrance conductors nipple through the back of the meter into the MSB.
The E.C wants to exit the meter can with the SE conductors, into the ATS, then leave the ATS with the feeders back into the meter can to get to the existing nipple.
I think this is not allowed due to 230.7. Or is it only up to the AHJ or electric utility?
Thoughts?
