I have a job coming up where I'll be changing out the service to a very old duplex, installing meter pack (two meters two main breakers) and re-feeding a interior panel. Its a duplex and right now it has a
single riser to a double meterbase outside and a main service panel in each basement fed with a SE cable (3-wire).
There is a ground rod and metal water pipe in the basement of each duplex.
Yes I dont know how they drove ground rods in basements here but not the first time I have seen it.
There are plans to add a PV system to each roof if that affects your opinions on anything.
Is there any way i can keep the SE cable and service disconnects in the basement and call the meter pack a EM disconnect?
I rather not mess with the existing panels.
Thanks
