I'm having a problem with a 200 amp heavy up i installed in august.
while finishing up the service up grade, i reconnected the #4 CU GEC to the 3/4" cu h2o line ( had been disconnected by previous owner and never reconnected) the new owners had no idea what it was when they painted the garage wire and pipe. so it never sparked on them. cleaned up the CU pipe and wire, put a new h2o GND clamp on and when i connected the GEC, sparks!!
once installed, i metered the #4 CU and found 6 Amps on the line, but my service was not energized yet so i called the local PWR company and requested them to meter the 9 homes being serviced by the xformer.they checked all the lines and said it was fine. i said its not fine, request #2 . talked to two supervisors, said they understood the problem and would fix it. no-go, said was no problem, NOW WHAT!! homeowner wants the problem fixed and so do i, however she doesn't want me to charge her for the time spend on this problem. its not my problem, what do i do??? it seems so simple to fix. meter all 9 homes neutrals and hots and find the one that doesn't add up, notify that home owner, tell them theres a problem with their service --they wont do it , even after #3 request and local inspector wont get involved any ideas???
