Hello all, I am installing a 400 amp meter base combo.I have seen plenty of example of 400 amp meter bases with separate 200 amp disconnects. These separate disconnects typically have a grounding bare and a hole punch to bring the grounding wire out through eco suit down to the grounding rods...

I am finally getting around to installing an off peak meter base that I originally had questions about back on this thread. Was too much of a wimp to do this in the dead of winter. I have since had a conversation with the PoCo and they've basically confirmed the wiring as discussed in that...

I've pulled a permit and am installing a 240v outlet in my garage for EV charging. My electric company offers a program where electrical use on this outlet can be significantly cheaper when used during "off hours" (e.g. overnight). To support this, I need to install a separate meter on this...

I noticed a main breaker box cover was missing outside at an apartment building. It had three 200 amp breakers inside. My opinion was getting the cover back on was a priority, any thoughts? Photo attached. Seems like this could be dangerous with kids around, possible rain water getting inside etc.
