- I assembled my new electric meter so it ready for the Rural Electric Co-op to hang on my new transformer pole. When they come and extend the power out to my build site.
I'm a Licensed Journeyman Electrician with over 52 years in the Trade specializing in Residential & Commercial Electrical Wiring & Maintenance. I have never used Aluminum Wiring for anything other than direct buried feeders underground a few times. I prefer using Copper Conductors for every thing . As a Retired Federal DOD Firefighter I have seen too many Structure Fires caused by Aluminum Conductors overheating !
I was wondering about that. He didn't how long the wire was either. I hate guess work. I'm going to use copper. I used to work in Florida along the beach fronts and the aluminum did not hold up well at all.
@@MISSINGYEARS I did watch your video but I'm not an electrician. The setup I just bought is identical to what's in this video. I'd hate to tell you something wrong and have the whole thing go up in flames. I'm just going to pay the money to have it done correctly and move on with the build. There will be plenty of other things to save a dollar on. The main electrical feed is not one of them. Besides, code for me would be different than code for you. Sorry, I would help if I knew how.
"too many", how many were of the wrong gauge, done correctly, sized correctly Au is fine
No kidding. Spend a few bucks and install copper for the three wires coming down the mast.
Dang your electric company is nice. I have to mount my own pole and breaker box
Now that we got the flat tire business out of the way
This is exactly what I'm looking for....I think.
I want to mount this panel to my existing home. I want to use the existing weather head and support pipe. I want to install this panel, because I'd like to also bring wiring to my adjacent garage for basic outlets and lighting. I believe this will work.
5 Minutes into the video, he finally starts the install...
do you have to upgrade the panel in your house to 200 amps also?
I have the same panel I want to add an outlet outside but the place where the green screw goes does not have a hole on the back of the panel so the bars are already bonded??to neutral and ground above or they still need the green screw thanks
Great video! Do you have to connect jumpers from the meter socket to the top of the 200amp breaker or are they already connected?
Already connected
@@CountryViewAcres thanks so much for the reply! Going to buy one now
Nolox is no longer required. I want to say it stopped in the 80s. Aluminum wire is now made with higher grade Aluminum which doesn't oxide anymore
Does it bring a bonding screw?
Wouldn't you have to have a ground wire and a neutral wire coming in from the house?
Should be in the non metallic service entrance cable.
Good vid thank you.
do you have a model # for this breaker panel? trying to buy the same one. Thanks!
That's actually a better and cheaper way to do your electrical you do not have to go out and buy a meter maid panel and buy a breaker box then you have to run one wire up to the top of the house and you don't have to run the bottom or air into the breaker box inside the house for this one you only have to run one wire and you're done feed your main lines in and you got power
Cory Clark our company gave us the meter box we just had to pay for the breaker box
Cory Clark nice work
Hi was wondering what type of wire you used for the metal conduit ?
Most people use service entrance wire. I had some 4/0 aluminum wire I used.
thx
You will need a ground to your house panel envelope it is not your main
So who makes the box? Someone asked but no answer.
It is a Square D - Homeline meter/breaker box
What size Allen wrench does a breaker box takes
150-225 amps typically 3/8s allen size

Wat the name of the cable that goes from your meter to the house main box
Load side conductors or feed to main breaker at the house
Can you please share me the link to buy the mobile home feeder cable that you used in your video from the meter box to the main breaker box that is located in the manufactured home.
Also share the link to buy the cable that you used from the meter box hub to the cable coming out of the weather head. Please and Thank you.
Whats the price of something like that.
Contractor: 2500-5000 depending on length of dirt to dig up and placing schedule 40 pvc in the ground
DIY: whole different conversation
A 7:30 video that should have been 2:00
Half of video is about his tire and not finishing the box
No ground wire coming in from weather head? In Alabama it is a requirement but what the hell is up with flat tire. Stupid video
There’s no ground that comes in from the transformer side. Neutral is grounded at that point so there’s no need to add another one, you bring a ground to ur main panel tho
Why in the hell would a weather head be grounded? You might as well ground the ground.....😂
Dude....are you a tire repair man, or an electrician. You are wasting peoples time with your tire story...........
