OK


I'm curious about the covered box over the masthead. Is it a phone box or an alarm box. Either which one, why is it there. Not in a good safe location judging by the photo. Working on it could be a veryu hair raising experience to say the least.

Another question, it appears that the service conductors might be in direct contact with the underside of the soffit and fascia boards. Mr. Photographer, whats the story here?

To the photo taker,

Was this a residential application? What kind of machinery was powered by this? Quite the wood shop I presume

I am curious too I have never seen such a low amperage service of this type.


I do not think the POCO around here would provide it.

Gerry:


Three phase only, and the fouth wire (neutral) is installed because it will be used as the path for a fault - Yes?

However, if this neutral was used as intended, then I would call it a 208Y/120 volt, 3 Phase 4 wire installation.

Quote:
220.2 Computations.

(A) Voltages. Unless other voltages are specified, for purposes of computing branch-circuit and feeder loads, nominal system voltages of 120, 120/240, 208Y/120, 240, 347, 480Y/277, 480, 600Y/347, and 600 volts shall be used.
