I just finished installing a 100 amp overhead service with no disconnect. Panel is directly behind meter. I ran 2 hots and a neutral to this panel with main lugs only. Ground/neutral bar in this panel is bonded to the panel. Inspector tells me to run a ground to the meter and its good to go. I tried to explain that this would be running wires in parallel and that we are not isolated and insulated, but couldn't get thru to him. He then told me I needed a main breaker. This panel has 3 circuits total.
Can someone please send me the sections in the NEC that explain both of these? Unless something has changed, I was still under the impression that the panel does not need a main if there are 6 or fewer motions to shut it all down.
Thanks for the help folks,
Dennis O'Toole
