[b] dave, remember here in canada too we have idiot proof service panels. the main breaker has to be in a separate compartment, that way when it is turned off and the cover is off the box all connectors are de energized, no way of getting a shock
Also it would make swapping out the panel one heck of a lot easier. I currently have a POC Sylvania panel, and would prefer to have Cutler/Hammer. I'd swap the panel out if I had the disconnect you mention... but as it is I'm not about to go through the hassle of having the meter pulled, getting permits, etc; and although I don't particulary care for the panel I have, it will have to sufffice until the budget allows for a master electrician to do the job. [/b]actually the older panels here in canada had the separate switch, the newer ones are adapted american panels. I have a square D QO in my basement, what they do is install a special sheetmetal guard over the main lugs. and as dave said about bigger idiots, the guy who used to own my house ran a circuit wire through that section of the panel...a no no

According to the service guy who takes care of my generator a disconnect is supposed to be placed between the meter and the transfer switch so the switch can be serviced.
I think we are getting a little off the subject talking about disconnects and transfer switches. But yes, that would be correct.

Yep, but it's proved something I suspected, which was part of the O.P.
