This is sort of a hypothetical install, it's going to be done but not by me and I was thinking how I would do this myself with the focus being on the layout, keep in mind I've never done a multi family service before. Existing are (Along with some assumptions not critical to my inquire) three meters located inside a basement, each immediately feeding it's respective MB 60a panel. Calculations aside, landlord wants to upgrade service to 200a and each panel to 100a and add a house panel. (Unsure if branch circuits are pulled from this location or not) So I was thinking of mounting a trough above and below the meters, the bottom trough extending beyond the meters on each side enough to fit two panels. Therefore, if you were to look at this install you'd see from left to right, two MB panels, four meters and another two MB panels. Does this sound good to you guys? There's probably a four gang meter enclosure on the market that could be used to simplify this I'm sure. What route would you guys take? Any other ideas?
PS, Meters need to be inside as there's an issue with work clearances outside.
