Power company has underground going into line gutter. From there (without splices or taps)it goes directly into the line side of a 600A 3-p meter can . Load side of meter going into 600A disc. Contractor(not me)taps line side in 600A meter can and goes into the line side of a 3-P 200A meter can then the load side to a 200A disc. My question are you permitted to splice in the meter can, even though it is on the line side, and go to other equipment such as another meter can, transfer switch. I have no idea why no splice was made in the gutter.

As long as the splice (tap) was done correctly and 230.40 (2008 reference) ad utility standards where complied with I do not see a problem with what you described.

Splice boxes or gutters are usually provided to make such taps because there is not sufficient room in the meter to make such a tap, or POCO maybe has rules prohibiting tap in the meter even if there is room.
