Electrician shows the FULL Process of Installing a 200 AMP Resi Service💪 Thoughts? #hendythesparky
What happens here
A 2-inch PVC conduit is installed from the top of the meter socket up to the service drop point near the roofline. This conduit protects the main service conductors. Then, 4/0 gauge service entrance wires (conductors) are pulled through this conduit. An expansion coupling is used in the PVC conduit to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction due to sun exposure.
Goal: Run the protective conduit and pull the main service conductors into the meter socket.
Tools and materials
- 2" PVC Conduit — Protecting the service entrance conductors
- 4/0 Service Entrance Wires — Main conductors for the 200 amp service
- Conduit Cutter — Cutting PVC conduit to appropriate lengths
- Expansion Coupling — Allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the PVC conduit
- Ladder — Accessing the service drop point near the roofline
