Is it me, or did anyone notice phase conductors in conduits are the same?

Did you happen to read the first 5 pages? (6 pages)

Yea, went back and read code section, after 30 years have never done this before.

Is this normally a POCO requirement?

Anything 480 over 800 amps. limited to 70' But with permission I have done install like this to 150' but when you walked over the slab it sucked the nails out of your shoes. and it screwed up the screens on the PC in the office.

Not to be beating a dead horse but the violation I see after you guys brought it up was 300.12. But look at these pictures and and you could site the same thing and that is the only way I know to enter gear from the bottom. View attachment 3049

. . . the violation I see after you guys brought it up was 300.12. . .

Actually, that is not a violation. See Exception No. 2: Raceways and cables installed into the bottom of open bottom equipment, such as switchboards, motor control centers, and floor or pad-mounted transformers, shall not be required to be mechanically secured to the equipment.

We are using 05 and the only exception is for raceways for cable (sleeve) But enough of this. I thank every one for your input.
