kimball gray Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 First of all, the service conductors are not protected at grade entry below the meter. I believe they are supposed to be in conduit 8" above and 18" below grade. But what about in the crawlspace where they enter the home? Do they have to be protected here where they enter the crawlspace, and can they run in tandem with the water supply line? Water lines next to electric? does not seem right...Any insight would be great. I cant find it any of my texts...

Marc Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 SECs should be protected at all points above grade where subject to physical damage. 230.50 Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plummen Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 That is just flat out sheer stupidity on the part of who ever installed the wiring! They should have installed the wiring in conduit from meter/disconnect to panel [:-censore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
