What happens here
The process begins with removing existing conduit from the old setup. Then, a new meter pan is prepared by using diagonal cutters to remove knockouts, which are pre-stamped sections of metal that can be punched out to create openings for conduit. The size of the knockouts (3-inch, 2.5-inch, 2-inch) is noted, indicating the various conduit sizes that will be used.
Goal: Ready the meter pan and transfer switch for installation.
