Need advice

Re: Need advice

Agreed Polaris and also, Ilsco "Clear Taps" will do the job as well.
 
Re: Need advice

I recently saw one of these kind of connectors inside an exterior electrical panel,

on the service entry conductors; from the POCO. Are these type of connectors

allowed [ by code ] inside the electrical panel boards? A code reference if

you please. We are on the `08 NEC. Thanks! ;)

Read 312.8 and let me know your thoughts.
 
Re: Need advice

Greg,

Thanks for your prompt reply! Article 312.8 would seem to cover it.

The men from the POCO were there to do an account activation,

on the day that I went to look at the electrical. They are the ones

that removed the connector from inside the elec. panel and installed

another one ' below grade ', on the SE conductors. The Polaris

type connector was installed behind the cover on the exterior

electrical panel. I would have never seen it anyway! :eek:
