Help needed/ have you ever had this happen?

does the NEC allow the GEC to enter the meter like that (no connector)?

Good question. I have used that 1/4" hole in panels and I have never been called on it.

look at 312.5 and let me know.

I have never been called for it either. Thats why that hole is there.

c2500

doesn't 312.5 say thats not what the hole is for?

I have been told from other AHJ and manufacturer that this is what the hole is for--never been called on it nor do I hit it.

Higher weather head and a bigger drip loop

It looks like you and/or the lineman may be at fault. One of you guys didn't provide enough wire for the drip loop or the lineman cut too much off making the splices.

I thought the hole was a draining means for water that gets inside the enclosure.

look at the picture

look at the picture

Looks to me like the drip loop needs more loop for the drip.. one wire is way too short causing the water to run into the weater head..Thanks Michael

I'm not sure if this has been addressed. . . Why silicone in the weatherhead? I have always filled it with duct seal
