I plan on building a new metal building in the same location after I tear down my current poorly constructed wooden shed. Right now there is a meter on a POCO pole with a small panel that has about 5 spaces (100 amp?) below the meter. The pole is within 2' of a wall on the current and future building. In the new shop I want to upgrade to 200 amp service. Do I need to have a disconnect on the pole below the meter or can I install an interior panel inside the building with 200 amp disconnect and the appropriate conductors in conduit from the meter, run along the outside of the building and enter through the wall at my interior panel? If so, is there a maximum distance or is it just based on conductor size?
Been a while since I've been on here so it's good to visit. Finished the house remodel a while back and now it's time for a shop.
Thanks,
Travis
