Quick home electric question
Alright, so my Vodka Cranberries are kicking in.
You recently ran 3/4” PVC up to your deck or something...... (kinking the conduit) so there’s another issue the city inspector will see.......
So I’m guessing that the previous home owners removed and relocated the overhead utility power feed (feeding the 200a panel) as the deck interfered with a safe overhead feed.
Do not call the city inspector.
Yup, that was me, but it wasn't a deck, it was the underside of a lean too
I talked to the inspector and he sounded like a cool guy
I told him about some of the issues, in fact I started our conversation by telling him "how do we fix this"
This is what I think happened
The 100 amp panel is the original one (it is mounted on what I believe is an original wall)
At some point (1995 I think) they put on an addition, and bud the garage
At that point they installed the 200 amp panel, and the new meter base, Intending to switch over service to tho that panel and for some reason, they never finished it
So, I'm expecting the Inspector to look it over, say "this is what happened, and this is what you need to do"
And then well get it done
As far as the power going into the empty meter base, I solved that by throwing the 200 amp breaker off
Either way, well know soon enough how this plays out
