    Weatherhead Connection To Siemens S40405-2CO Meter Pan

    I am installing a new electrical system on my cottage. I have built the weatherhead from schedule 80 PVC pipe/conduit. I am coming down into a Siemens S40405-2CO meter pan using a metal EC 38599 meter hub. I need to know: 1) Can I use an adapter to connect the schedule 80 PVC to the metal...

    2" electrical "sill plate"

    I'm a DIYer putting upgrading my electrical service. I need to come into a structure with a 2" schedule 80 PVC. An electrician friend told me I should use a 2" "sill plate" on the side of the structure. How do I connect the 2" sch. 80 PVC pipe to the "sill plate"--do I just run the 2" PVC up...

    Who is "they"? "PoCo specs"--you mean "power company"? Our company is PSEG. They have assigned me a representative who is guiding me according to their specifications.

    Megawatt, I'd like to say I've solved my problem. I've decided to upgrade my weather mast/pole to a class 7. Right now I have a pole that does not meet specs. PSEG will re-connect to the new pole. Then I can come down the pole with schedule 40 2" PVC conduit (I think--). This will solve the...

    Megawatt thank you for your continued help. As I said, I'm M.S.E.E., not an electrician. You said, "No couplings may be above the roof." My plan was to run a 10' RMC 2" pipe and thread it into the flange on the 200A meter pan. The pan is 4' above the ground. I need to have a height 18" above...

    Megawatt, thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately, a simple meter-pan replacement is becoming a service upgrade, so it will entail more work. Thanks again. Fred

    Electrical Service

    The power company (PSEG Long Island) is requiring that I install a 200A/240 meter pan with a by-pass lever which I am doing. I need to replace the wire mast too. Correct me if I'm wrong: I need to come down through my eaves with a 2" RMC, right? And I need either #2 AWG copper or #4 AWG...

    New Electric Pan Installation

    Megawatt: another question: I intend to use 4/0 Aluminum SER cable. The cable from the electric company is copper. Will there be a problem connecting Aluminum to Copper--specwise? Thank you.

    New Electric Pan Installation

    It's okay. It is gas piping under the panel. But it is more than 1' from the panel--which, I believe, is required. 1600700524 Thanks for your continued help, Megawatt. I looked into the GE 200 A panel. It seems a little over-kill for my cottage. I'm wondering if I could put this meter pan in...

    No. I was in the process of removing the old equipment. An electrician informed me new equipment must be installed.

    New Electric Pan Installation

    Megawatt, thank you for your help. At this point I am trying to learn what hardware I need to buy. Then I can bring an electrician in. I have some questions: 1) how do you know the meter is 100 A? They all look the same to me. 2) What is 40 circuits--40 circuit breakers? 3) How do I choose a...

    New Electric Pan Installation

    I need to replace the electric pan on my cottage. Old pan not to spec. I probably need a 150A/200A and 240V pan. Looking for advice on what pan (product number) I should buy from home depot. The old pan (ancient) measures 7 1/4" wide to 14 1/2" high. I know the feed wire I need (Southwire SE...

    Thank you, Megawatt, for your reply. The power is already disconnected from the meter. A storm shorted the line. The twisted-pair feeding the weather-head (from power company) is completely disconnected from the weather-head (open circuit). My plan was to replace the meter pan/meter plug which...
