<div>See attached photo</div><div><br></div><div>1.) Neither the National Electric Code nor Ameren service specifications allow</div><div>the use of the meter socket as a junction terminal box. In this installation, a</div>
<div>landing terminal lug has been inserted on both hot legs and the neutral with the</div><div>normal load side meter conductors running to the customer’s existing 200 amp</div><div>main disconnect. This meter socket’s lugs are not designed nor UL approved</div>
<div>for this application. If in fact this double landing of conductors were allowed,</div><div>the National Electric Code mandates that all service disconnects for this type of</div><div>installation be installed according to the six switch application. That provision</div>
<div>requires that all service main disconnects must be installed so that all mains can</div><div>be de-energized from one standing position.</div><div><br></div><div>2.) The A/C safety switch referenced in Jonathan’s message clearly outlines where</div>
<div>this device must be located both electrically and physically: between the</div><div>customer’s service disconnect switch and the inverter’s output and adjacent to the</div><div>Ameren revenue meter. The conductors running from the load side of the meter</div>
<div>to the A/C safety disconnect must be removed from within the meter socket.</div><div>The AC connection to the Ameren power source must originate from within the</div><div>customer’s 200 amp main disconnect panel. These conductors can not be routed</div>
<div>through the meter socket. Another route must be secured. The vacated hole in the</div><div>side of the meter base must be plugged with an appropriate device intended for</div><div>this purpose with a bolted connection being inside the meter base for securing it</div>
<div>to the metal enclosure.</div><div><br></div><div>3.) The conductors running from the customer’s service main disconnect distribution</div><div>panel to the AC safety switch must be comprised of two "hot" conductors, a</div>
<div>neutral, and an equipment ground. The neutral must be designated with markings</div><div>as stated in NEC or by using a white jacketed conductor. The equipment ground</div><div>can be green jacketed conductor.</div><div>
