Termination Cabinet connections?

[titan1021]

I will be installing two meter main services for an upcoming project as the utility company wouldn't allow a 2-meter pack. They will allow two separate services and a termination cabinet/gutter, so that is route I'm taking. One service is a 100amp and the second a 200amp, I will be bringing in 350mcm as the service feeder then splitting off to the two services. I haven't used one of these termination cans for this purpose before so I am wondering about the connections at the terminals.
Can the barrel connectors be double on the terminals? or is there another way to do this that I am missing? Thanks

Is this for a residential or commercial service? If residential there is no reason you can't you a 2 gang meter pack. Since commercial requires test bypass you typically are required to use individual sockets.

The box you are trying to use is not designed for what you are using it for. It is an underground pull box designed to transition from the utility installed underground lateral to a singe set of conductors to the customer equipment. You should be using a bused gutter that mounts on top the the meter sockets.

You should not be installing EGC's between the pull box or bused gutter and meter sockets. The grounded conductor will bond this equipment.

You are also required to use a common grounding electrode system for both services. If you really want to install 4 rods there is nothing stopping you but they all must be bonded together.

Thanks for the input and pointing out the redundant grounding. This is a residential installation and the utility would not approve a meter pack but did approve this set-up. These panels took over 6 months to get because of the pandemic and they are not returnable. I'm basically locked into making this work at this point. Hoping to find a way to connect the two feeders to the terminals that would be acceptable although not ideal.
