ECN Forum Forums Photo Discussion Forums Photo Gallery Update to Service

These are photos from the update to my service entrance after purchasing my new (to me) home. Much better than what was previously there.

Any pictures of the previous service?

It's another post in pictures labeled '100Amp Service Entrance Taped'

Interesting how codes vary from place to place.

Where I'm at (Suffolk County LI (NY) the SE cable would have to be protected (in Conduit) up to 8ft. off the ground and the point of attachment would have to be below the head.

Ditto to Bills Comment, SEU protected on load side of meter, & drop/head attachment.

Also, IF your area is under 2020 NEC, exterior emergency disconnect.

And, not to be nit picky, staples on NM at top of panel.

Here in PG&E territory SE is a NEC recognized wiring method, but is not allowed per PG&E's Greenbook, any SE cable I see is from the late 1950's or earlier, personally like it that way, SE cable has a huge installed base in other parts of the US & homes are not burning down because of it,it's biggest hazard is siding installers but I just don't like it.
