So let get right into learning about Service Equipment.

First of all, let’s go ahead and see how the NEC defines Service Equipment. We want to know how its defined by the NEC because Too many electrical workers (and inspectors) think service conductors include the secondary conductors of transformers and supply conductors to a remote building.

This misunderstanding has led to several improper and unsafe neutral-to-case connections at disconnects and panelboards. To ensure a safe electrical installation, know where the service begins and ends.

I’m going to have a cheat sheet that you can download in the show notes so make sure and grab that. And if you want a quick overview of how the NEC is laid out check out Episode 39. I’ve linked to it in the show notes as well.
