Today I asked for a quote on a 400A 2-gang meter socket with disconnects. What I got was a quote on a 400A 2-gang meter socket with (2) 200A breakers in each section. I was told that feeding a 400A MLO panel with (2) 200A paralleled breakers was OK. These breakers operate independent of each other and are factory installed in the meter socket section.

I have never come across this set-up before. According to 240.8 it seems to be OK. It just doesen't sound right to me.

Have any of you guys done this or seen this done before?
