Ok tell me about this metering enclosure. I’ve never seen that particular can; is this a transocket?

Just got over covid myself. Would not recommend. Kept me in bed for an entire week.

I’m wondering about the meter enclosure also.
I’m assuming thats a 3S meter since it’s single phase, and the new enclosure is a transocket accepting a 3S?
why couldn’t it be moved over?

 

[nickelec]

Yes it's a trans "s" cabinet made to accept tenpoint meter and two Cts single phase 400 amp one set of 500s to the utility drop to sets of 3/0 on the load side one to each oanel

Yup, that’s a transocket. We have to use them for everything now too

Couldn't be moved over GC was admitted about using existing hole through thebroof

Not on 2020 yet? No Emergency Disconnect?

One question since power enters the bottom, why not flip the panel to avoid excess cable in the panel?

No, I meant the meter itself moved from the existing cabinet to the new cabinet And get rid of the old base.
Never see anything like that around here. Houses aren’t big enough I guess…
Good looking job though.

The old meter is jsut temporary until utility installs correct meter , since is an active construction site that's how we temp it up in order to not steal power, Poco frowns upon that

That meter does not fit in that base

I personally don't like doing that to meet.feels upside and not right, even though with that type of main breaker it would be compliant. Just a creature of habit the extra cost for an extra 10-15 of wire in the grand scheme of the project isn't really that much maybe 50$-75$

That meter base though about 1800

I like putting MB down in situations like that, especially if most of the branch circuits are on the top. For Siemens three-phase load centers with the QR breaker, you do need to remove and invert the breaker for it to be compliant. A bit of a hassle but I still do it usually.

 

[nickelec]

That breaker being horizontal is compliant either way

I have a complaint... Electricians are not supposed to have a broom according to the other trades. And I clearly see a broom in this picture. I believe that may be an NEC violation. Just kidding I always sweep up. Nice work..
