Hi,
I spoke to the POCO and they said they were NOT aware of this requirement. I also sent an e-mail to my state inspector asking for some clarification.
The POCO said that they would get up with the engineers and look into it.
They called me back and said they would be making some changes to their requirements.
They said that they now wanted a 3" conduit ran from their pole underground to a PEDESTAL within the 30 feet of the exterior wall of the mobile home.
I have seen these pedestals but have never installed one.
Aren't they just buried in the ground?
I wonder how this happens? Don't the poco have to use the NEC for its requirements? I know they are exempt from it on their own property and equipment but they should also be required to follow the code. There is a case for the fact that they are only responsible for so much but on the other hand they should not be connecting to installations that do not meet art 550.
What type of liability do they have and what about the recent installations up there that do not meet 550?
Should the state be inspecting areas that do not have a building dept? I am not trying to stir the pot.
Thanks for all the replies. I am real glad I asked about this.
-regards
MUSTANG
