Wiring 2 Gang Meter Socket w/ 100 & 200 Amp Meters
Hello,
Are you allowed to use a 2 gang 200 amp meter socket to feed (1) 200 AMP panel and (1) 100 AMP panel, or do all meters in same enclosure have to be the same (200 AMP)?
If the above is allowed:
What size wire would I need from weather head to meter socket?
Would I then run aluminum 2 AWG from meter socket to 100 AMP panel and 4/0 AWG from meter socket o 200 AMP panel?
Would the ground wire from rods run to socket and then I run 4 wire to panels (for isolated grounds) or would each panel have to have separate grounds directly to rods?
I have an existing 100 amp service that I just put in a few months ago, but our plans changed for this house and we need more amps (over 200) and thought why not just keep the 100 amp panel in place and run another 200 amp panel to increase our amperage. We did want a double meter socket though to keep the exterior as clean as possible, but I've never done one before :confused: Also, I'm located near Pittsburgh, PA. Thanks!
