feeds INTO the house. Had to change out the meter base before the electric company will bring power to us, thanks |
5=B = neutral
6=D= ground
4=A=line
3=c=line
w/ meter in place
6 will feed 5 neutral
4 will feed 2 line
3 will feed 1 line
I DO NOT SEE A GROUND BUS IN THE METER PAN.
IT MUST HAVE ONE!!!!

6 is for the neutral from power company, small lug to the right of 6 is for the ground, 5 is for the neutral to the house, shouldnt need a ground bus as long as you land(bond) the ground on the small mechanical lug to the right of 6 |

2/0 wire also, rated for 195 amps but the inspectors let that slide for residential, commercial they make us use 3/0
