I ran into a meter main breaker that was being used as a emergency disconnect but not service disconnect recently.
The water pipe GEC went to the main panel, ground rods into the meter main box. Main panel had the "service disconnect"
Completely open basement less than 6' of SEU from meter main to the panel.
For some reason he had a bonding jumper #6 from the meter main to the panel in addition to the SEU.
Cited him for the bonding jumper creating a parallel path to ground and not properly labeling the emergency disconnect.
Certainly wasn't the intent of the NEC for a meter main to be used like this. 2023 added some language regarding this.
