Question: Does code require main switchboard to have meter? (like Square-D PM800 or CM3000 meters). Thanks!

Yes, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC), the main switchboard must have a meter. The meter is used to measure the amount of electricity used by the building and to bill the occupants accordingly. The meter is typically installed in the main switchboard, which is the main electrical panel that distributes electricity throughout the building. Flag for review
