Tap rule for 2500A service

[Toros]

Hi
Can I use tap- rule for a new 2500A service ?
They gave me a limited space, a small electrical room.

See attached for set-up.

Sure why not if you can meet the tap rules? I dont really have any idea what you want to do, but are you talking a feeder tap or a "service tap"?

So you are splitting up the 2500 shown into two smaller or using that and another? You are free to tap the service conductors to different service enclosures as long as A. they are grouped B. The number of service disconnects does not exceed 6 C. the conductors serving each main are sized to that main (or to the load if a MLO with multiple service disconnects) D. The length of service conductors does not exceed that allowed by your AHJ. Did I leave anything out anyone?

......E. You have the proper working space and dedicated equipment space...

i HAVE TOTAL OF 9-METERS, 9-DISCONNECT IN DIFFERRENT , DETTACHED ENCLOSURES.
DOES THAT EXCEEDS THE NUMBER OF DISCONNECT ALLOWED FOR USING TAP-METHODE ?????

Oh that is what the M means......If you have more than 6 meters, you have to cold sequence them (have a service disconnect before them). Looks like that is what is going on in the sketch. There is no reason you cant have one service disconnect feeding say 6 meters and another service disconnecct serving 3 more meters. But if utility meters are involved, always best to CYA and get the blessing from the utility!
