Default 225 amp Meter Main
I am bidding a solar installation. the scope, 200 amp Milbank meter main with 1 200amp main breaker, Feeds 200amp cutler hammer 20/40 distrubtion sub panel. All existing. Solar company says I have to upgrade the Milbank to a 225 amp rated meter main and keep the 200 amp breaker. Who makes a225 amp meter main?? The local code requires an outside disconnect. This is residential
