I am going to be installing a 200a service using 2 1/2 gal as the mast. Although I have done several service upgrades this will be the first using galvanized conduit. I was wondering if any additional bonding will be necessary from the weather head on down into the meter pan?
Why the 2 1/2"? seems kind of big for a 200 amp? around here we use just 2" our meters won't take a 2 1/2" unless we go to a 320 base.
A lot of the POCOs here require a 2-1/2" minimum for strength.
The 2" mast stopped after a ice storm about 20 years ago when hundreds of masts buckled.
Never heard of that. What do you do add a trough?Does your Poco require seperation between mast and meter
