Lil' Dave posted for all of us....

had to have permanent meter loop installed vice a temporary. This provides
power to the water well pump (30 amp breaker two phase), and a 120V GCFI
outlet (20 amp one phase) for the home contractor subs.


There is no two phase power. Single or three phase. If you live outside a
manufacturing area then you most likely only have single phase. You might
be referring to a double pole breaker to your well that gives 240 volts to
the pump.

I suggest you get a little more knowledge so you can understand what you are
being told. Search engines are your friend.

Let's replace 2-phase with "2-leg" and leave it at that.

Another poster claims the meter must be relocated onto the home as per NEC.

In reality, the NEC and the AHJ's power to enforce it tapers off into a grey
area from the service entrance panel to the metering equipment, and on up to
the weather head or in the case of underground service, any wiring or equipment
prior to the service entrance panel.

I have seen temporary service "meter-mains," specifically, a 200 amp
weatherproof panel with a meter base built right in, turn into a home's main
disconnect.

These panels are popular on boat docks where space is limited. A main 200a
breaker is covered by a weather tight door, and the panel has 20 1" spaces for
20 full size breakers, and 4-8 of them will accept "twin" style tandem
breakers.

It is entirely up to your utility if they'll accept the remote metering site.
