can anyone tell me the what is the size of the incoming power from above picture. The only thing I know is the end box is feeding 3 service switches(One is 800 amp, one is 600 amp and the other one is 200 amp)
 
Do you know the size of wires heading toward the 3 service switches?

The colors imply it is 120/208V. If the wire size were 500kcmil, then 2 sets would have an ampacity of 760A, likely nominally an 800A service.

The size shall be either 500kcmil or 600kcmil, and the service can not be 1,200 amp, right?
 
DSC_0070-min (2).jpgthe left conduit is feeding a 600 amp service switch, the top 2 are feeding a 800 amp service switch, and there is a small one on the right feeding a 200 amp switch. I feel like this is a sub end-box. The main end box is above this one.

I see an additional 600-800 amp service with a separate meter in the left of the photo. The 10 point meter pan for the CT cabinet is to the right of the CT cabinet.
 
You really need a photo with the cover off of the end box to confirm what's actually there. It appears that there are actually 3 services, the ~600-800 one to the left with it's own meter, the 400 amp(?) CT service and the ~200 amp to the right with it's own meter. Each one is spliced and fed from the end box therefore the CT cabinet is not feeding all of the service disconnects.

Looks that way to me as well. 1 CT meter and 2 direct meters. Kind of a scary looking room.
 
Rob, if I understood that right, that means that this is part of service and is not after the meters... which is where we ground, first disconnect after the meter... or is it Fuse or Breaker after the meter...lol
