Could you legally install something like this today? Not that you would want to.
Looks cool, BUT is the duct UL approved would that come into question, if not UL approved would the inspector red tag such an install?

I bet there is a load of birds nest in there cause the bottom is open and the top is also open.
Around Me the poco is stricter than NEC, they alway inspect before connect on anything larger than a 200A 1Phase service, it may be just fine by them if they energized it. I don't know where you would get that setup but I really wanna see how it enters the switchgear.
I recall seeing something like that all over Houston when I was there in 2000-01, CT's were inside & KWH meter was close by.
If you mean the old store on Broad St. near Hermitage Rd., yes, and I've seen plenty bigger.There's a monstrosity of one behind Pleasants hardware.
Larry, Have you seen that?

There is, I saw birds fly in and out of the bottom.

If you like, I'll see if I can shoot and post a few pics of several, including the high-leg service most seem to have.
That's the one. Here's another:The Pleasants beside Lee's chicken.
And people worry about risers in a wall...:roll:
That mess is an explosion waiting to happen.
Add enough moisture with the bird nests and poo that is bound to be built up in there and watch the sparks fly.
I am puzzled as to why it was done in the first place..seems it would have been cheaper to drop a pipe down from the top and have the tie-in to the bus right where it exits the building..which is an install I have seen before.
Good opportunity to sell them a fix before they have an unscheduled outage.
All I see as an issue is the missing end, as far as we know the conductors are as fine the day they went in. The condutors are required to be type W mosture should not be an issue.
No derating needed and much easier if you do not have power pulling equipment.
Thats funny, do you work in the real world? :grin:
Few people will repair what is working, sure those that have critical loads may but most folks no.
EDIT: And do I see another riser tapped off of this one, the RGC exiting to the right...........?
