I don't deal with services very often, so I just don't know but elsewhere a person posted that an electrician wanted to charge him $1200 to "fix" some service wiring that had been spliced, claiming that was not allowed.
It made me think, and I got curious, but never found anything that said splicing service conductors was not permitted.
In any case, the way this was described made me think it was more of a feeder anyway. It was some wiring downstream of an outside CB that feeds the main panel for the house.
Not sure if the neutral bond is made at the main CB or in the panelboard, if that would make a difference.
in any case wouldn't the service conductors stop at the outside CB?
