Route and Strap Service Cable Conduit
At 4:35 in
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.
