I’m open to feedback, folks. We’re here to make things right.
Reat job!
I’m sorry, but I cannot see the original text that you are referring to. Can you please provide me with the original text so that I can help you rephrase it in a conversational tone?
Seems great
The setup looks good, but for next time, consider using Kenny Clamp for the ground wire coming to the breaker box instead of a romex connector.
Why is the soil bare right at the point it goes into the container?
I think is trying to bond it. I’ve never seen that before, usually the screw in the back of the enclosure is for that purpose.
Yeah, Jason, the bond is already in place. It’s totally unnecessary and just increases the risk of corrosion.
Sure thing! Here is the slightly different and more conversational rephrased text: ” yes”
I intended to mention that the screw attaching the ground bar to the back of the enclosure bonds it
Yeah I understood your point
“Why is the ground stepped”… Did you mean ‘stripped’?
Oh no, that was definitely an autocorrect mistake.
Just messing with you.
That’s quite the grounding setup for you
Seems nice.
Overall, the 120-208 service looks good. However, I would suggest using at least a 1/2” rigid or SCH 80 plastic conduit to protect the grounding wire. Other than that, good job!
Hey , this setup isn’t 120/208.
So what is it then? I’m curious to learn too!
Hey , in a 120/240 setup, you actually get 208 through a transformer. 208 isn’t typically used in residential settings!
Hey , did you happen to notice that’s a 5 point socket? It’s specifically used to get a single phase from a three phase transformer, usually with a Form 12S meter. Maybe you just overlooked the neutral connection on the socket. Just a thought, maybe I missed that in class!
It’s not exactly that way, I understand your point but I encounter meter cans like this frequently, even in residential areas. I am certain it’s 120/240
Okay, so I failed as an inspector then!!!
I have to agree, it does look more organized
It’s pretty clear that you don’t technically reside in the US. Do you inspect a lot of services in houses in New Jersey?
I was under the impression that this site was intended for addressing electrical questions correctly. You, on the other hand, are making assumptions. I reside in the US. Please refrain from judging me based on my Spanish name. My expectations of you were higher. You just come across as another ignorant person in the US. Maybe you’re from Hoboken or Wayne. Paterson might be too challenging for you. Just some food for thought.
You should consider using a different band.
Ood news, but now I’m gonna need some siding. Lol
Please put the ground in 1/2 inch PVC. By the way, I ran into an inspector who mentioned that if we use THHN for the ground rods next time, he will not pass us.
Why are there two different grounds? I noticed one is insulated and the other is aluminum.
Looks neat I would say an A- grade, almost a 93
You are my source of inspiration. When all hope seemed lost, you breathe life back into me with your incredible work. Enough to start life anew. Thank you for everything, Sir Shelton Faulkner
Have you considered using a single meter breaker box instead of two separate ones?
The romex connectors are typically meant for dry conditions only, but there are other types of clamps you can try out! Instead of 2 hole straps, consider using conduit hangars or minis. The 2 hole strap might not be the best choice for what you need right now.
Hmm. You really tore up that siding. Just mentioning
Hey, consider using 1/2 in non-metallic liquid tight for your ground wire coming out. No need to strip it in that connector since you already have your green ground screw installed. Also, try to get all the same style PVC TAs next time. Just a pet peeve of mine. Adding some 7/8 shallow strut behind your pipes will give you the spacing off the wall you need to reach your boxes, instead of using those half-screwed-in straps. Overall, it looks pretty good – much better than the wall it’s mounted on!
You totally saved me from typing almost everything you did..Haha
Recommends using 1/2 inch PVC that is not flexible.
Seems awesome!
Did you happen to mess around with the asbestos in those tiles? 😂
I had the same thought. Many young men haven’t encountered an old house with asbestos siding. That stuff is dangerous for your health!
No need to worry, buddy, that will be taken care of.
If you’re in Austin, make sure that riser is made of rigid metal or EMT.
EMT!?! Outside? I’m confused. I always heard the song saying “it never rains in Southern California.” 🎶
Waterproof fittings
What do you think?
You’ll definitely bring joy to some lucky lady. Just remember to put on fresh underwear.
You’re my inspiration when I’m feeling hopeless, your incredible work gives me life and motivation to start anew. Thank you for everything, Shelton Faulkner.
Why not just go with a main breaker panel instead? It would be much neater.
Why do people use plastic bushings on PVC pipes?
Pulling large wires over a long distance can damage your connector by tearing a slice in it, destroying the threads. It’s against code to use oversized conduit
Haven’t had a chance to read the comments, but as long as you made sure to separate the neutrals from the ground, that disconnect should be fine.
Good job, but I recommend leaving some extra
‘t worry about what any of us think – keep doing what you’re doing! We’ve all been there a time or ten throughout our careers. Keep up the good work, bro! 😎
Handshake
It appears that electrical work was done on an empty house.
You must have been frustrated with the green wire, huh?
Can SEER be put in a conduit system?
I’m not entirely certain about this one, but I believe a Myers hub is required if you penetrate the sides of a W/P enclosure 🤔
Just to clarify, it doesn’t necessarily have to be rain right below live parts. Also, while a Meyers hub is one of the acceptable methods, it’s not the only requirement.
Did mention I wasn’t sure 👍
Meter cannot be grounded
I don’t think a x connector is approved for bonding if my memory serves me right.
I hope you didn’t actually charge someone for this 😩
Siding containing asbestos
That’s exactly what I was thinking…ugh
$2,000 worth of electrical work on a $500 house.
I would kindly ask that you complete the report by the end of the day.
Yuck, no offset or mini for the polyvinyl chloride.
Hey , it seems like schl40 as well.
Hey , it’s totally fine if you check out the pvc going into the meter. They fixed the problem by simply not tightening the screws completely.
👏 Well done!
Hey, that looks good brother!
Just a few strips of phase tape will do the trick.
Hey, who buys your tape?
Your method is fine, but it would be neater to tuck the ground in beside the PVC.
After destroying the asbestos siding, backer plates for the meter and disconnect are available.
Make sure all metal parts are properly grounded. Have you checked if your straps are grounded?
Looks good, but remember to sleeve the ground in 1/2 PVC next time and use the interconnect ground adapter for low voltage grounding.
Hey, I can see the ground block over there, but it doesn’t have a cover on it.
I would steer clear of that asbestos siding unless it has been professionally removed.
I think it looks good to me. I’m pretty confident the inspector would approve it.
Consider using a stand off strap in the future
