I guess I've been using conduit too long. What kind of cable is that on the panel & disconnect?

The extra height on the mast is intentional. I'm allowed 1.5m unguyed - and I have about 1.2m from the top u-bolt (hidden) to the porcelain insulator. I only have ~30' to the pole so the cantilever load isn't an issue. The mast is 2-1/2" galvanized rigid... it's rather beefy. [Linked Image]

The cable is ACWU. http://nexansenergy.com/egy/equip/bw/arcable3.html

I used 250kcm from the disconnect, and #1 from the panel (which feeds into the house to pick up the old/existing panel)

what type of cable is that [Linked Image]
We also have this product available in copper to, and its called teck cable. btw that is done exactly how we have to do it in British Columbia. and thats is a 2 1/2" rigid riser (Called a Mast) here and can be 50 inches before it needs guying here.Those ubolts will have a back plate and lock washers and nuts drilled into blocking that would of been added. we have to remove the wall board to install the blocking.
