a key issue JGE, because of the public/customer/end user's view vs. a qualified one ......

I couldn't take it anymore-had to sign on.
I agree with Bill / the POCO will -oops(might)-feed the meter can and needs to be on the left side to provide more space for the "line." The sledge hammer will prevail if left as shown.

BTW all you guys are great.
Lots of interesting threads here.

Where do I start? 110.14(A), 338.10(A), 110.7, 110.12,312.8, 250.92(A) & (B), 250.24(A)(5), and then some. This service is in Keokuk, Iowa. It's an underground service, and yes, the left side of the meter can is supposed to be for the POCO. The close up of the screw was at the middle left side of the service disc, line-side of disc. The #12 off of the 100A breaker goes to a 20A cartridge fuse, then to a GFCI outlet.

No, we did not hook this up! We called the electrician with the license, and showed him what his grunt did.

Thanks for the good comments.

Can't blame it on anyone but the electrician with the license.He sent his man out there unsupervised. ( or was he?)

In the last picture, the outlet is protected by a cartridge fuse (top right of can in picture), not to the 100A breaker
not sure where the #14 or #12 coming off the 100A is going, but it's not to the outlet

Zack, maybe the black 14/12 off the 100-amp QO goes to the top of that cartridge fuse? A sure warning that there’s a fuse under the deadfront might be to chain a pair of fuse pullers to the backboard.

The precision bathtub caulk on the right-side locknuts is a nice touch.

Some days you gotta' laugh just to keep from crying.

It is a fuse!!! Didn't even think of a fuse being inside the enclosure, behind the deadfront, and not accessible without removing the deadfront!


But maybe I am just by my own Overthinking!

Like Bjarney said, leaving fuse puller chained to the enclosure will help leave a clue about the hidden fuse here!
LOL!
