does anyone have pictures of a temp service I have to put one for a job I'm doing. I want to know what is required and what is the cheapest way to construct it. Does it have to be inspected are ground rods required
 
In my neck of the woods, inpsections by both the AHJ and POCo are required. Only 1 ground rod, irregardless.

Best image I can find:

What size Temp service are you looking for, because I've put in some temp services of 200a 120/240v to 2500a 277/480v.
 
I have found the cheapest way to put in a temporary service is: (drumroll). . .. to put in the permanent service and use it as the temporary service.

of course, that isn't always practical.
 
I took my local POCO manual and scanned in the two diagrams for an overhead and underground temps.

Click here for the overhead, here for the underground.

Some of the specs may not apply to your area, but they'll give you an idea of what to aim for.

Thanks for the help diagram was helpful
 
Were are you from? You should be able to get a blue book from your POCO to show how they want the services. They are usually particular on how they need to be installed.
