Hello all,
I have been an active viewer of this sight and love all the great views and help everyone provides.
I have a three unit apartment building with three meters. The whole building is being renovated, and I need to add a fourth meter for the common areas. I have tried to find the way to accomplish this cost effectively, and have not had any luck.
One option is to replace the entire service with a four gang meter...
If I left the existing three gang meter in place, I would need to add a fourth meter somewhere. There is no room immediately adjacent to the existing meter bank to add the fourth meter, so I would have to locate it about six feet away on the other side of a window.
I am having trouble figuring out how to tap off the service entrance conductors.
Presently I have parallel 4 ought Cu.
I was thinking to replace each double lug to a triple lug and use a single 4 ought Cu to feed the new 100 Amp meter.
I am having trouble finding out in the code if this is acceptable.
Any advice?
