2002 NEC Article 230.82 EX. (2) Permits a meter disconnect switch to be connected on the supply side of the service disconnect. This has never been a practice in western Kentucky but I have read that it is normal in other parts of the country.
Is this for the safety of the utility for changing meters?
Does it always have to be on the supply of the meter or can it be located on the load side?
Can this switch have integral overcurrent Protection?
