MASTER ELECTRICIAN DAD TEACHES HIS SON A 200 AMP SERVICE!

What happens here

The prepared service cable and weatherhead assembly are now installed vertically on the exterior wall of the building. This involves feeding the cable through the conduit and using straps to secure the conduit to the wall, ensuring it is plumb and adequately supported. The service cable is carefully bent into an aesthetically pleasing and functional curve as it enters the meter/disconnect combo box. The electricians work on ladders to reach the overhead service entrance point near the roofline, where the weatherhead is secured, and then route the conduit and cable down to the meter box location.

Goal: Securely install the service cable conduit on the exterior wall.

Tools and materials

  • 4/0 AL Service Cable with Weatherhead — The main service cable assembly to be installed
  • Conduit Straps — Securing the service conduit to the exterior wall
  • Cordless Drill — Drilling pilot holes and driving screws for conduit straps
  • Ladders — Reaching the overhead service entrance and working at height
