I was told by the contractor that this was a work in process and that should explain the open knockouts and the unsecure pipe. He didn't mention the arcing that was present and I would have to presume that it came from working on the changeout hot before he decided to disconnect the power in the utility vault (without authorization I understand)and complete, and re-energize, their work. I didn't observe any means to secure the pipe inside of the box so I must presume that the intent was to disconnect everything again later and secure all of the loose fittings and close the extra openings. I was informed that the box was suitable for inset or surface mounting and should have been weather resistive enough to meet requirements. I was not able to get manufacturer information as I was only on site to document the installation as a courtesy. The AHJ apparently had not inspected any of the work up to the time that I was asked to take the photos. ERFERTT
