Is a meter disconnect a service disconnect? As I read 230.82 it makes the distinction that a meter disconnect is permitted to be connected to the supply side of the service disconnect, as you would have with a 800 ampere fused "meter disconnect" feeding a bank of 12 meters. Then the disconnects after the meter would be your service disconnect. Am I correct in my thinking?
230.82 Equipment Connected to the Supply Side of Service Disconnect.
Only the following equipment shall be permitted to be connected to the supply side of the service disconnecting means:
(2) Meters, meter sockets, or meter disconnect switches nominally rated not in excess of 600 volts, provided all metal housings and service enclosures are grounded.
