Site Observations
Met with Pete Petersen and Eli Lujan with New Electric to review the electrical inspectors
statement,
"termination cabinet lengths on parallel runs do not match. Cabinet was to be bottom
fed. Phase conductors touching and laying on phase blocks taped up with rubber tape.
Electrician did not have much of a choice. Have electrical engineer inspect and sign
off."
With site review we would provide the following responses:
1. We've reviewed the voltage drop calculations and would understand a 3' shorter
run on the phase marked with red would result in less than 1/4 % difference. We
would state that as insignificant.
2. We reviewed the conductor routing within the meterbank terminal box. Looking at it
closely the electrician felt that he would be able to tie off the conductors better to pull
them together and to pull them away from any hard surfaces. He will take a further
precaution to provide insulation tape of any hard surfaces near the conductors.
