Multiple services to a structure

Would multiple services into a building need to be grouped at the same point or shunt tripped?

There is no requirement for shunt tripping of services.

The code does not seem to require the disconnecting means from different services to be grouped together.

I agree.

But they just must not exceed 6, correct?

There can be no more than six service disconnects grouped at a common location. If the service disconnects are not grouped, each set of service entrance conductors can have up to six disconnects.

Six per service, although I think you are allowed one remote disconnect for a fire pump that is not counted as part of the six, but I would have to look that up to be sure.

Thanks for the replies!

Yes and I think exceptions for controls etc.
