In Michigan, it is not uncommon for a "strip store" type of building to have numerious tenants and each tenant has his own set of Service Entrance conductors. These Service Entrance Conductors originate in what is called around her a "Tap Box". The Service Point is at this tap box that contains bus bars. These buss bars are Service Entrance conductors albeit they are bars. The installer "taps" this supply with smaller conductors and complies with 230.46. Everyone that I deal with would call this a tap. This tap box is on the customer side of the Service Point and is inspected by the AHJ. I agree with the Yooper.
