Transfer Switch Install - Feeders Pass Thru Meter?

[melcha187@aol.com]

Was checking out a job, Meter has a nipple on back that feeds thru to panel. Was wondering if I could put 2 nipples off of meter to transfer switch (one for service conductors and one for feeder conductors) and pass thru meter to panel. 230.7 was only thing I saw that says can't mix in raceway which they would be installed in seperate raceways just would be in same enclosure

NEC might not care but I'd say the POCO does. You need to check with them.

'Raceway' is a bit vaguely defined. I've seen inspectors refer to enclosures as raceways. I'd see it as a gamble unless you get it pre-approved or know the inspector well.
