Hi,
I am glad I asked this question. The poco has put up a cut sheet for this type of installation.
This is the web address if you care to review it:
http://www.carrollecc.com/meterinstall2.ihtml In this installation, there is NO pole within 30 feet and NONE of the other mobile homes in this park have a second pole next to the mobile home except for an overhead drops. This goes from the meterbase and ocpd on the POCO pole to a main breaker inside the trailer 100 feet away.
You said URD was not an acceptable choice of conductors. What is URD for if not for underground feeder?
USE is the almost the same thing is it not? I am sorry to disagree but I think you are mistaken. This is an UNDERGROUND SERVICE LATERAL.
Take a look at the following link:
http://www.centriccable.com/prod_MobHomeFeeder.asp See note:Cable shall be UL Type "RHH-RHW-USE," suitable for direct burial and operation at 600 volts. Conductors shall be 8000 Series aluminum alloy. Conductors shall be color-coded.
There is no inspection for this project so all I have to go on is the poco and the NEC.
Why is a mobile home any different than any other dwelling?
I may have to revise my proposal!
Thanks for any replies.
-regards
Mustang
