I'm curious on how that 6th can receives its line side conductors.......Just wondering if they bolted mechanical lugs on those buss bars or what.
(or if that's even permitted)
Looks like someone didn't want to spring for a 6 gang 200 amp can, when all they needed was 5-100's and 1-200
Ah.. I see. 'Round my parts, most of the POCOs want at least horn bypass for everything, so the supply houses don't even stock meter cans without horn or lever bypass provisions.iwire said:So it's not that my buddy needed a 200 amp socket, he needed a bypass version.
iwire said:I don't think any of the local POCOs accept horn bypass, all seem to want lever.
I never heard of a horn bypass until someone said it on a forum.
