What happens here

After all internal wiring and connections are securely made and have been inspected (typically by a local electrical inspector), the electrical meter is carefully installed. The meter is designed to slide into specific receptacles (jaws) within the meter socket, making firm electrical contact with the service entrance and load side conductors. The video then shows the finished "Residential 200 AMP Meter Box" with the meter fully installed, and the meter socket cover likely secured. This indicates the meter socket is now ready for the utility company to energize the service and begin measuring electricity consumption.

Goal: Safely install the electrical meter and secure the meter socket enclosure.

Tools and materials

  • Electrical Meter — Measuring electricity consumption. This is typically provided and installed by the utility company

>> Got it. >> Where's your torque wrench? Let's go. Let's give it a little bit of an approval here. I love this idea. That worked great. That female coupling in that. Nice job, Chris. Okay. Um that's it.
