I was looking at a job today and the customer asked what would be involved to upgrade their 100 amp service to say 150 amp.
Looked at the panel in the basement and saw that it was feed with what appears to be an SER, this runs the entire length of the house inside.
I go outside and find the in ground splice box for the underground service, #2 AL direct burial, URD.
At the meter I find a 100 amp main disconnect.
I think the installation has a few violations, at least no GES at the disconnect, only three wire from disconnect to panel.
Shouldn't the water ground and or ground rod be attached at the disconnect?
