Why 320 AMP Services are no Joke.. Largest Residential Service in the USA #hendythesparky

Look at that. What's on this meter can right here? This is a 320 amp rated meter. So, this is the largest surface for a residence, even commercial, without the need of a CT cap. Okay, so it's 320 amp rated. One thing I see here is they actually ran parallel to our aluminum wiring. There's an awful lot of wire jammed into that 2 1/2 in conduit. Yeah, I can see that. Why is there two I see two SCU cables looks like coming out of it? because it's cheaper and easier to run 250 amp SCU cables and 250 amp main breaker panels in your basement for the 300 amp, right? So once you get over 200 amp, everything explodes in price, right? You you even know at Home Depot it kind of stops at that residential 300 amp 2 in, right? Once you get over 2 in and 200 amp, everything goes up. So this is the most practical way to put 300 amps in your house. Now this meter pan could have been specially ordered for dual feed, right? For dual, you know, two parallels parallels on the input and the output. That's the one thing you have to be careful of if you're going to do this. Most likely you won't do it overhead. Most likely you'll do it underground, right? You got to make sure when you terminate these that you actually have two individual looks, okay, on the output. You don't want to take each one of these and just jam it into the one output and put together your fail inspection for that. All right. But this is actually a very smart, very well done. This is the most inexpensive way that you can do 300 amps in the house. And especially with easy charging, you know, if you have a lot of EVs, you're putting a lot of electricity. This is a great way. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks, Dad. Yeah.
