Thanks for all the replies. Electure (Scott) has sent along a photo to illustrate the type of all-in-one that is common out in CA.

Here's a picture of the "all in one" combination service that was discussed in this thread. Meter, main, and branch breakers in one enclosure. (Only problem here is that this one's a Stablok) BTW, I've never worked on, or ever seen, a house here in CA that had the 6' recp spacing that was mentioned, except for one room addition that was done by a homeowner.

Bill, I hope to be able to "come out and play" at ECN again soon.
Thanks and keep up the great work!!

Scott
