One Meter Two Service Panels

Grounding 2 main panels on 1 meter 6 answers i m new to this group but have read several threads and the answers seem well thought out and reasonable.

One meter two service panels.

1 wire coming from meter into exterior meter. I have two 3 phase 200a main breaker service entrance panels each wired 3 0 to dual lugs in a 320a meter can. The combination service entrance device features a ring type meter cover with a single phase 4 jaw meter. There is a meter available to build a 400 amp single phase service and use 2 200 amp main breaker panels in paralell.

If he asked if he could run two 200amp rated panels with 50amp main breakers in them like yours then of course he could provided he used approved lugs to do so. They are grounded with 2 cu as follows. Depending on the service drop wire size leading to the meter if it is rated for more than 200a you may be able to upgrade the existing 200a service meter meter base and then install more than 200a in combined main breaker capacity for the two usage areas. Thanks for this forum.

I believe that there is no question that the meter can support 200 amps of service because i think all the meters for residential service are the same. I would think the wire coming off the meter would have to be larger to support both boxes. A residence with a 200 amp underground service to a meter then two 100 amp seu cables tied together on the load side lugs going into the house to two separate 100 main breaker load centers right next to each other. I have never seen this before until today.

Single meter with two service panels. The meter sockets have paralell lugs for all conductors. At least i think the meter for my 150 a panel is the same as the meters in the 200 a service in the neighborhood of larger houses next to me. I m just saying if it did he would need a 400 320 rated meter and service entrance cables.

This unit is ansi certified and ul listed with a maximum 10 000 air. The wires are bugged with 2 1 wires each feeding a 150 amp box one on the outside of the house and one on the inside of the house. Each box has its own service shut off in the panel. Both panels have their neutrals and grounds bonded together.
