Drop or lateral

Here is a solution for the customer that wants both.

One of those Overhead-Underground Florida Specials, huh? :roll:

I wonder, would 225.18 apply?

at least Al didn't yank that one off the wall.

Sorry, hit post instead of preview. My guess is that this was originally a drop that was value engineered to underground. Overhead to underground is a common request here after hurricanes, but I have never seen this before.

Other than height requirements is there any nec issues involved?

IMO the NEC does not apply after the drip loop from the weatherhead.

I have seen pictures of entire blocks like this when the utility deiced to move the overhead distribution underground.

You are correct, that would be POCO owned wire and conduit coming out of the ground. I posted this under 'Electrical Calculations/Engineering' because I just think it is a very unusual design for this area, I also see no NEC issues with this install.

I know that. It just looked so strange. I think I thought the driploop came into play but its obivious it dosent

The drip loops are after the service point.
