What happens here
Using wire cutters, separate the individual service conductors from the main service cable bundle. Carefully pull these conductors through the upper conduit, feeding them into the meter base enclosure. This step requires handling the large gauge wires to avoid kinks or damage.
Goal: Route the main electrical service conductors into the meter base.
