Well here is a scenerio I haven't yet seen.
I went to look at a 200 amp panel service call. And discovered the neut appears to be overheating and melted some of the plastic of the neut bar holder(to float if a sub pnl which this isn't)I wiggled the 2/0 and it seemed very tight, tried to tighten lug it would'nt buge(didnt thik it would after that kind of heat)so I removed the bubble from the meter socket to see if the load side neut was loose.... only to find PSE(puget sound energy)neutral on the lineside was oxidized badly and had black on its 2/0 aluminum wire. Also no sign of anti-oxident used by wiremen on original install. I can see the electrician used it on the load side and in the panel too.
So is this the power company's fault? or is there something I am missing?
Thanks,
