What happens here
Inside the meter socket and exterior disconnect, the service conductors are cut to their precise lengths and then terminated to the appropriate lugs. Additionally, a grounding system is established by 'shooting in' ground rods into the earth adjacent to the house. This typically involves using a specialized tool, like a rotary hammer with a ground rod driver, to efficiently drive the rods deep into the soil for proper grounding.
Goal: Connect the main service wires to the meter socket/disconnect and establish a robust grounding system.
Tools and materials
- Ground Rod Driver Bit — Attachment for the rotary hammer to drive ground rods
- Ground Rods — Providing an earth ground for the electrical system
- Rotary Hammer — Driving ground rods into the earth
- Torque Wrench — Ensuring electrical connections are tightened to specification
- Wire Cutters — Cutting the heavy gauge service wires to length
- Wrench Set — Tightening lugs and connections
