I usually specify a main breaker before the service conductors hit a meter stack, or before they are spliced and tapped off to go to individual meters. I just hate to see a bunch of distribution with unprotected wire.
But is this required? Of can the service conductors come straight from the utility transformer (3 phase) and into a pull section or bussed section of a meter stack? Then the first circuit breakers would be after the meters.
For example, would this be legal: 3 sets of 600 KCM coming from the utility transformer, landing on a meter stack bussed section, and then going to (6) 200A meters, each with a 200A breaker on the load side of the meter??
