Oh, Hendy, what is this? Oh, yo, so this right here is a 400 amp service. All right, I can tell by the size of the disconnect. So, we are currently in Canada, guys. I'm on vacation. Come over here. Hydro Quebec, and it is in French here. So, guys, in the comments, you know, this guy's cap. It's not cap. And the Canada electric is a little bit different than the United States electric because in Canada is 110 220 volts rather than the US is 120 and 240 volts. So, it's a little bit different. Don't get confused. And as you can see here, this 400 amp disconnect is 600 volts and it has three poles. Here is Seammen's. And Seammen's is a nationally recognized brand. This disconnect is feeding eight of these service meters. All fed with a 100 amp breaker here. Over here we have a another electrical panel. This is for like basic essentials for the an outlet here. We got some data over here. But uh overall guys, the electric in Canada is really well and I'm actually surprised and is very nice. So Hy the Sparky, see you in the next one.
