Question:
If four apartments each have a 100A service, is it required to have 400 ampere service entrance conductors to the meter bank?
A
Answer:
No, not unless the load calculations require the service entrance conductors to be rated at 400 amperes. Section 230-42(a) says 'service-entrance conductors shall be of sufficient size to carry the loads as computed in Article 220.'
