Quoting a job where I will put a fused disconnect which feeds a trough. I'm going to tap from the trough into 7 meters. Just curious if there is a more cost effective way than ilsco bite taps. Those things came to about 60 a piece, and I'll need 3 per tap as I plan to make the egc through conduit/enclosures. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks

I usually use H-taps which are incredibly affordable at like $3-4 a piece:


For this application a bussed gutter might be a better way to go......but some more details would help: what size is the feeder that will be tapped? Is it a single set or parallel? How will you be complying with the tap rules? IS POCO ok with this?
