That's what I do, since we're lucky enough to receive meter bases free from the POCO.

Inspector was busting our &&** on this job.

Outside disco is required. Inspector wanted a single disconnect which is not required by any POCO or local building codes. That narrows the number of available panels significantly.

After sitting down with inspector and his supervisor, and his supervisor we were able to agree on a basic meter combo with 2-200 amp mains and 8 slots.

By the way this service is for the guest house. The new guest pool and guest pool house were two much for the 200A service.

NYC encompasses several boroughs, including a large portion of Long Island. Many more single family houses than multifamilies in Manhattan (NYC proper).

we just mount the 400 amp with offsets to 2 200 amp exterior disconnects, one on either side and then into the house with 2 runs of service cable to 2 200 amp panels..

the can is mil-bank and the disconnects are Square D...

That's my normal method too. I have to pay about a bajillion dollars for a 400 amp meter can with built-in 200 amp disconnects.
