Greetings,

I was wondering if I can have a service drop which is disconnected to multiple service disconnects. What I am considering is to have a 1200 A service drop and put a wire way and connect it to two(2) 400 A disconnect and one (1) 600 A disconnect. Does code allow me that?

Thanks for your inputs.

What you have said so far - yes.

You can supply up to six service disconnecting means from that drop (some exceptions for fire pumps, emergency systems, etc.)

The individual conductors to each disconnecting means need sized per the overcurrent protection, but common supply conductors that feed more then one disconnecting means only need minimum size per the load calculation.
