Take the tour ×  I am bring new power into a new building site.
The power company requires that I install a meter pedestal with
a disconnect. I can do this myself or hire an electrician.
Since there is no live power until the meter pedestal is
installed and the power company hooks it up, and since there is
next to no wiring involved, I think I should be able to do this
myself.  Basically it is setting a post, attaching the box,
attaching a conduit in which the power company will run the
incoming power and driving two ground rods.  The question is, I
am supposed to have a disconnect. Now the meter box has eight
slots for breakers and has one 200 amp breaker installed all
ready. It seem to me the 200 amp breaker is the disconnect. YES?
share|improve this question I think they want an actual switch,
that can be locked off. –  Chris Cudmore Oct 12 '12 at 18:45 Why
don't you ask the power company to clarify? –  Tester101 Oct 12
