Read 250-24 (A)& (1) and then read definition of "service". "The conductors and equipment for delivering electric energy from the serving utility to the wiring system of the premises
served". That seems to read that all of the busing and conductors beyond the landing terminals of the utility are the "service".
I can't find where it says a new meter and disconnect is a new separate/independent service. There is a photo in the 2002 handbook on page 185 that shows one electrode conductor in a common gutter and the service disconnects are just bonded. Now
what do you think? Thanks for the input!
