All the equipment here is new, recently energized service. Notice anything odd?

Is there a requirement to phase the conductors in a CT cabinet?
I took it off to open it.:roll:
Bingo, POCO couldn't make up their mind, a few dollars worth of materials wasted sticking up through the roof.
Meter base grounded as per POCO.
Don't tempt me.Al and shovel missing.
Conduits on the left come from POCO transformer.

Didja cut the lock of the meter socket as well?
Does anybody not do that?
Well, if he's gonna cut the lock off, the least he could do is take the front off so we can scrutinize the work inside.

The only work I do in a CT meter base is 4 tapcons, a lock nut and a bushing. The rest is all POCO.

Main bonding jumper and GES inside at MDP.
There is 4 wire coming from POCO but customer owned. These are the conduits on the left with no paint. The CT's are solid (300-5). A real wrestling match to pull to POCO transformer then get them through the CT's then pull into MDP. This is 2 sets of 500's. Al has a special shovel he uses to wrestle these conductors.

I have never seen it done that way, here we use a cabinet that takes bolt in CTs

Looks like the CT cabinet is not grounded to the neutral conductor. And there is no need for the EGC's in with the conductors going to the main disconnect. Once the neutral is bonded to the CT cabinet they will become ea parallel path for the neutral current.

i would use migb's on the top conduits if they're metallic, bond it properly. On a new note, why does the meter enclosure look like Stainless? If required why not the ct cabinet also?
