What happens here
Before proceeding with any disconnection, use a multimeter or a clamp meter to thoroughly check for the absence of voltage within the 200 AMP disconnect box. Test all terminals to confirm no power is present, ensuring a safe working environment. The video explicitly states, 'Always check power for safety.'
Goal: Confirm that the electrical disconnect box is completely de-energized for safety.
