Have you ever seen 50 Utility Meters all in 1 room? Multi Unit Electrical #hendythesparky
What happens here
Proceed to examine the existing metering and distribution system for the individual residential units. This typically consists of rows of meter pans, each connected to an apartment. Observe the individual circuit breakers associated with these meters, which in this case are 90-amp derated breakers. Pay attention to how the Service Entrance Unarmored (SEU) cables are routed and secured, noting any cable management systems like unistrut, which helps keep everything tidy. The electrician points out potential quality issues, such as a misaligned panel cover and a misspelled label ('spear' instead of 'spare'), indicating the importance of professional workmanship and adherence to standards.
Goal: Understand the distribution of power to individual units and assess existing installation quality.
