Hello all. I have an issue that I am going round and round with local plan check engineer about. (Shocker I know). Here's the issue. I have an apartment building 24 meter total but with (4) different 6 gang meter sections in a subterranian garage. 2 seperate sections on each side of garage. 400 amp single fase setup for each. The service entry for setup is fed from two seperate poles. One drop hits a vault and splits feeders to 2 sections. Same setup on other side of garage. City planner is stating I can't replace this equiptment which is falling apart by the way in the same fashion. He states I can only have one drop for the building which would turn this into a 24 meter section and would have to refeed all branch disconnect locations not to mention turn this into a 1200 amp night mare rather than 400 per section. Am I correct with my interpretation of 230.2 (c)2 allowing me more than one drop since poco has already spotted equiptment in same location and will not provide 1200 amp feeders from existing pole? I just found this exception after our arguement of course. Also after the drop to the vault 230.40 exception 2 then allows for the feeder splicing to each 6 gang section correct?
