"Extremely aggravating." You are too kind. Wrestling those SE cables is one of life's great challenges. Some electricians make a service loop for each cable inside the box and then connect the bare ends to the main breaker. This eases the aggravation a bit and also facilitates any future work that may be required. Another sensible practice is to connect all of the grounds and neutrals to their respective bars before installing any breakers. It's much easier that way because the breakers and the hot leads don't get in the way.
@@EnjoytheToil I install a 200 amp meter combo base ( its code for my county). I also had the utility company upgrade the transformer and install a 200 amp service wire underground which they did for free.

Nice upgrade money well spent
Excellent! Just the informatiion I was needing.
Glad I could help!
@@Grazing-M-Acresare you an electrician ?
@PennYankeeWoodworks I'm not a licensed electrician, I've always done my own electrical work though.
Well done….
Thank you!
Is there a difference in the service line-in equipment? Did the utility company have to put in a 200amp compatible meter?

@@Grazing-M-Acres right on. Thanks.
If you dont mind me asking how much would it cost to change the 100 amp fuse box to a 200 amp service upgrade? Thank you
To be honest I have no clue. All electrical supply are expensive. If I had to guess probably a couple thousand or so.
Thank you @@Grazing-M-Acres
