<p><font size="5">I am in a bind with an interconnection where I
have an apartment 6 pack meter box with all 120-240v/100 amp
breakers & assumed 100 amp busbars. The apts. were a mid
1970's original build. There are 4 apartment with 1
circuit/meter each & 1 house circuit/ meter for owners
use.The breaker boxes are Sylvania (yuck). Originally I assumed
a larger busbar due to 6 - 100 amp breakers & this was not
the case. We all know about assuming...</font></p>
<p><font size="5">I consulted with W-2 who had assisted my lead
installer in in the past from UT. He sent the following &
though it makes sense to me, the utility is asking how I can
have a 225 amp panel behind a 100 amp breaker. My response was
that all we are doing is achieving a properly sized bus bar to
accommodate the back feed.</font></p>
<p><font size="5">My Utility Idaho Power requires interconnection
with a meter that has a load on it. Solar only meters are not
allowed. This is for the owners loads only & he has 1 meter
per apt complex at 100amps each.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">I am wondering if any of you have used this
connection adaption to achieve a larger array connection &
how it went?</font></p>
