Re: service
Sounds like you'd be dealing with service entrance conductors, and if so, 230 PART IV applies. Comply with those sections, and I don't think you should have a problem.

Re: service
That is assuming there are no service disconnecting means and OC protection at the metering equipment. If you are on the load side of service equipment, you are talking about a feeder tap and different rules.
Also, as small as the load must be, you still must be sure it fits on the 500 kcmil conductors.
