Joe I will not argue with you about this as I too would like power companys handy work like this to be inspected.

That said this is power company metering under the control of the power company, it is their seal on it.

90.2(B)(5)(a) clearly states it is not covered by the NEC, now the raceway leaving the meter, the added disconnect etc. are another story.

Also, the meter socket enclosure is part of the Article 312 inspection made by the AHJ and the installation above should have never been passed.

Again I remind all I am guessing to this extra meters purpose and a further guess is at the time the inspector looked at the service there was only one code complaint meter socket in place.

Then at some point the POCO subs came in and added the off peak meter.

However we feel about it, it is a common situation.

By the way what are you doing walking around in Lynn?

I hope your 'carrying' if you know what I mean. [Linked Image]

All that aside it certainly could be an illegal second service. [Linked Image]

Happy V day.
