Hi can you make a connection on the load side of the meter to feed a panel that will be install in a garage? If so which article section allos this. I know that feeder and branch circuits taps have special rules. I also know connections ahead of the main ocpd isn’t permitted unless is special conditions (pv). Im just not sure if it applies to my situation

If it's a detached structure 230.40 Exception #3 would apply.

I like that fact you used that reference, that reference doesn’t even register with most guys in the field when the service supplies a single family dwelling with a outbuilding or accessory structure

Gus, would this be considered as a feeder tap with Art. 240.21 (B)(5) rules applied?

If the tap is before the service disconnect, it is subject to the rules in Art. 230 not Art. 240.
