I've been reading old threads about the dangers of pulling meters from old meter pans and to be honest it has me more worried now. I've always been alittle worried when i pull meters but after reading that some guys had them blow up on them it has me more concerned.
My question is could you hit the main breaker off first then just go up and cut the drop conductors then pull the meter? With the mechanical type meters their isn't a load on them after the main is cut off so there shouldn't be any dangers right? Now with the digital smart meters you could mess them up by cutting the drop conductors first i assume?
