Dealing with hurricane flood damage from Helene in Florida. 3 foot high mobile home park pedestals were submerged and are being replaced by 5 foot high ones. The originals had 1/0 aluminum direct burial utility conductors in to meter base and 1/0 aluminum out to disconnect breaker on the pedestal. That breaker and after I believe is considered service equipment and for certain is the homeowners responsibility. The size of the pedestal breaker ranges in the park from 30A on old single wides to 200A on modern double wides.
On the replacement pedestals the contractor is crimping 2 AWG onto the 1/0 underground to meter base. Then out of meter base to service breaker on pedestal with the same #2 AGW. That load supply is now 100A. That leaves anyone with a mismatch of either too small conductor into the mobile and anyone with a demand higher than 100A unable to be approved by inspector to be connected.
This is a 300 unit park and I estimate 100 or more are still without power from September storm. I can't find any code that's being broken to help residents out.
What yall think besides "Just don't seem right"
