Hi,
Electricman-
You said: "is not subject to physical damage"
This is my point.
I am aware that some places it is acceptable to run a SE cable for the se conductors and feeder.
I also am not sure if it is code or not but it is the way to go. It may be that I have to ask an inspector for his interpretation. I do not know of ANY inspector that will allow a SE CABLE to extend from the meter base to the first ocpd without PROTECTION.
You can not do it anywhere I have ever worked.
My point was that the cable between the meter base and the first OCPD HAS NO PROTECTION.
If someone got into that cable they would have a serious problem.
If the cable has a breaker ahead of it I see no problem.
Without it...it’s dangerous.
Thanks for the comments.
Regards
Greg
