Default Does NEC require a Main Breaker Panel inside the home?


"-delete and replace as follows - article
230.70 (A)(1)
(1) Location. The service disconnecting
means shall be installed at a readily
accessible location either outside of a
building or structure, or inside a building or
structure nearest the point of entrance of the
service conductors, not to exceed 10 feet of
conductor length from the point of entrance."


Depending on how one reads this it is at least a little unclear
whether the 10 foot limit applies outside, or only to inside
installations... The requirement would certainly make sense for
inside. But then 150 feet is a ways to run while the ceiling fan that
just came loose is showering sparks on the carpet, so I can see where
it could be an issue.

Where is your meter? It it at the pole or by the house?
