Hi William,

I don't know if this will help or be the right tool for the job, we just
picked up a GE 200A 2 pole Lug Kit (GEDTHLK2200) that attaches to the buss
bars in a main or sub panel just like a circuit breaker does. We are using
this pass through lug since our panel has a main breaker and is feeding
another panel with a main breaker 5' away. 

Sincerely,

Jeff:

I've never done this before and I'd like to know more about the 
procedure.  If in this scenario we have a meter/main combo, the leads "just 
above the main lugs" are on the utility side of the meter.  If we tap 
there, we get no benefit from net metering (or at least no benefit when our 
generation is greater than our draw).  Futhermore, we have no right to tap 
in this location.  I am assuming therefore, that when you say "just above 
the main lugs," you are referring to a location down stream of a separate 
meter socket, correct?

In the case of a meter/main/combo, the only conductor between the meter and 
the main are buss bars.  Is it acceptable to drill and tap these buss bars 
for lugs, or does this violate the devices listing?

Excuse my ignorance here and thanks in advance for clarifying.

William Miller
