That doesn't seem right. I would think any of the currently available multiple meter centers could comply with 230.71(B)(4).
Designer82, the reason I asked about what code, is 230.71 B 4 had a very significant change from the 2017 version. There is much confusion in the industry and this forum about implementation. So make sure you know the difference between the 17 and 20
The do not comply with the separate compartment part of the new rule. When you take off a cover, the bus for the other meters is exposed and not compartmentalized as required by the code change.
I would think the change in UL 98 product standards would be for multiple meter branch sections.
But they are not in separate compartments...when you access the disconnect, you have access to other disconnects and line side busing.
Most are like this with a single cover that accesses more than one service disconnect and that is what the 2020 code change prohibits.
Now I under stand what you are saying. My understanding of the term "meter center" is the type of equipment that I posted the image of. I don't see a single meter/disconnect as a meter center. Around here that would be a meter/main.
If it had more than 6 meters, it would have a single main and of course the branch breakers wouldn't be service disconnects so there would be no issue (I would call that a meter center). A 2-6 gang meter without disconnects would of course not be an issue. The issue is a 2-6 meter center that has 2-6 service disconnects. I guess one option for the manufacturers is to just supply these with a single main (which I think is what David is saying), but as you say, I guess there is work to make them comply with the separate compartment wording.
"Compartment" is a term often used for MCCs and Switchgear, and provides separation close to that of a separate enclosure for those applications.
