Greg.....I always pull a permit to do electrical work......working without one will surely get you fined and/or loss of license. I even pull permits on side jobs too.

That is why folks thought the "cutting seals" was OT.
I have cut them too, but only because someone sealed it without an OK on the permit I was inspecting.

Breaking seals around here isn’t a huge deal… ? the meters I come across dont have a seal anyways (some don’t have a ring period)… When I had a panel change a while back, the poco hooked the lines up & left me seals for when I finished… Then they asked me if I had anymore to do… (this was the 5th panel I’d changed in this neighborhood) I had 1 more, so the poco gave me a handful of seals icon_biggrin.gif Not all poco’s around here are this trusting, but I’ve never had anyone make a stink over a seal… There was one time I had to cut a lockring off due to no one available to unlock it… Main breaker burned & burned the bus & insulators along with it… 91 year old HO on a breathing machine during a sweltering summer… I wasn’t about to leave her with no power & no A/C for the 48 hours the poco was alloting themselves to get out there! I stuck the regular ring that came with the new panel on the meter & the poco simply sealed it after inspection…


I think it just mostly comes down to having a reason for what you do...

But I agree.....a HI should not be cutting meter seals. If they can tar and feather me for doing it just imagine what they would do to a HI
