Needing clarity on a remote disconnect concept here. Have searched the forums and found somewhat similar question but not anything that hits the nail on the head.
Basic Facts :
Assume a TPole and a pedestal both have Main disconnects established at their respective locations.
Both the TPole and pedestals are installed remote to the residence - 100 ft + and sometimes much greater. POCO has no interest in what happens after overhead drop to the meter.
Question 1 : Are Tpoles & pedestals considered a remote structure by Article 100 thus requiring another disconnect once the feeder lands at the residence
Question 2 : If they are not considered remote structures , and main is installed at Tpole or pedestal (regardless of distance away from main structure) and entrance panel at house is considered sub, is a secondary main required at the house sub if panel is over 6 OCPs
Concern : having a tough time believing the intent of NEC and 225 sections is that HO's may have to traipse through the woods or worse to find a main disconnect in the dark of night and storm out at a Tpole or pedestal.
Appreciate feedback ..
