Out of the 3 estimates,
I have chosen
Tim Donovan / Donovan Electric to
do the work.
After calling the city, it turns out that
the feed line from the
transformer to
my house is capable of handling the
load, and I do not
have to have it dug
up and replaced!!!
It's going to be done in 2 phases:
Phase 1:
A new 400 Amp Meter and Housing,
a new 200 Amp Service Disconnect,
and a new 200 Amp
Load Center
with
12 20 Amp GFCI circuit
breakers will be added outside.
Phase 2:
Conduit run and 12 sets of quad
outlets mounted. |
|
Phase 1:
Work started on 06/06/2008
Work completed on 06/06/2008
Inspected on 06/10/2008 (Passed)
Sealed on 06/12/2008 |
Phase 2:
|
|
Before:
|
|
|
|
Existing 200 Amp Service:

Cable TV Demarc
Telephone Demarc
Existing 200 Amp Meter Can.
(The ground strap against the wall on
the left is for my Ham Radio gear.) |
Existing 200 Amp Panel:

As you can see, my existing 200
Amp load center in my garage is
maxed out.
(The box
above is a whole house
surge protector.) |
|
|
|
Phase 1:
|
|
|
|

Existing 200 Amp Meter Can removed. |

New 400 Amp Meter Can installed
with a 200 Amp Service Disconnect
above that feeds the existing interior
200 Amp load center. |

New wiring feeding the existing 200
Amp load center - Fed from the new
200
Amp Service Disconnect
outside. |

The new 200 Amp load center is on
the left - 100% Dedicated to Blinky
Flashy!!!
Note: -
It's really 400 Amps - 200
Amps is at 240v, and at 120v it's
400 Amps!!!
That's a lot of Blinky
Flashy!!!
There will be a total of 12 20 Amp
GFCI Circuit Breakers inside
of this
box that feed 12 seperate circuits.
Each circuit will have 2 outlets
connected to it in a dual gang
waterproof box.

Phase 2:

Hopefully I'll have enough time to get
this done by the end of August.
