From the disco.
Through the meter.
Into the panel.
Back to the meter lugs, top.
Out of the bottom lugs.
Back to the panel.
The long way around.
And then back into the meter
And up the mast?

Yes, unless your the neutral and you take a short cut. :grin:

I knew it was you and chase nipples somehow.:grin:

I just could not remember exactly what it was. :smile:
 
Does'nt that come under threaded hubs?

Exception: Where threaded hubs or bosses that are an integral part of a cabinet, box enclosure, or raceway provide a smoothly rounded or flared entry for conductors.

Edited to add exception

Ok. It's just bugging me. 300.4(G) if 2008?

F moved to G in 08

But the exception allows the chase nipples w/o the bushing.

I think there was an inside joke going on above. ;)

Note to self........do thread search on this issue.
 
That topmost knockout on the meter can would have been field cut. I wonder if there was a warning sticker prohibiting field cut knockouts in that meter can?

I'll agree that it almost impossible to trace the conductors,but, what is up with the 'C' or yellow phase? It looks like the line side is connected to the bottom of the meter socket and the other two phases are going through the nipple to the top of the socket.

I looked at it again. I see what you mean regarding the C phase unless my vision is going.
 
Regarding the C phase on the bottom.

The person could not make the turn from the raceway directly to the lug.

If you look closely it leaves the lug, heads left then takes a U turn and heads right for the panel with the A and B phase.
