Should have mentioned I'm in Canada
Thank you for the reply Allan. I know about grounding the box. The cable only has 2 hots ( insulated) and the concentric neutral which is insulated within the main cable but has to be twisted together thus stripping the insulation.( you probably know that already). All service panels, house shop etc. have their own grounding rods in place. Yes the lugs in the box are insulated from the metal box itself. My concern is that piece of bare neutral from the point is enters the box, to where it connects to the lug. It's only about 6 to 8 inches but it bothers me that it's bare.
Guy from the power company said #2 should be adequate but I went 1/0. Also, anything on the pole is taken care of by the power company so any switches etc. that are needed will be installed by them.
