What is the cable between the service panel and electric meter called?
Whether you have an overhead or underground feed, that section of the installation is referred to as Service Entrance Conductors. On an overhead installation, it includes the conductors on BOTH sides of the meter, from the service drop conductors (attached at the service head) to the service equipment LINE terminals. On an underground installation, it refers only to the conductors between the meter's LOAD side and the service equipment LINE terminals. The conductors on the LINE side of the meter come from a distribution transformer and are unbroken between the transformer and your meter.
Can you run electric from the street directly to your garage bypassing your house?
You can install a distribution service in an attached garage. To discuss your situation see discuss question button below.
How can you get a 240V single-phase power from a 120V 3-phase service?
First of all there is no common three phase 120 volt service. There is in North America a three wire 120/240 volt single phase service. That being said, if you want to change a 120 volt source to 240 volts it must be done with a transformer. Its classification is a step up transformer. The primary side of the transformer H1 - H2 will be connected to the 120 volts. The secondary side of the transformer X1 - X2 will be connected to the 240 volt load. The transformer is sized by the current required by the 240 volt load.
What size conductors are needed to run a 400 foot residential underground electric service?
Need to know what size service is going to be installed at the end of the run.
How do you Ground a 3 wire service?
If you do not have a underground metal water pipe coming into the building then you put a ground rod at least 2 feet from the buildingf into the ground attach one end of the wire to ground rod run your ground wire and attach the other end to the neautral bar in the panel box. You need special transformer called as grounding transformer for this purpose. Grounding transformer is basically Wye-Delta type transformer with Wye connected winding connected to 3 line wires and derived neutral from Wye side grounded through desired grounding device. Delta side winding of grounding transformer is kept at no load.
What is a service lateral conductor?
service lateral conductors are the underground conductors between the utility electric supply system and the service point, basically the cables that bring power from the transformer to the power meter in an underground service
What type of system usually consists of primary distribution lines or networks service transformer banks and secondary lines or networks?
Electric power systems
Can you use 20 kva transformer in a home?
Yes you could use a 20 kva transformer in a home. Stymied as to why it would be done though. You would need at least a 100 amp service to the home to energize the transformer. Primary side of the transformer would draw 83 amps at 240 volts. If the question was to supply the home, again yes. It would be 100 amp service equipment that the transformer would feed into.
When was Service Electric created?
Service Electric was created in 1948.

When was Nashville Electric Service created?
Nashville Electric Service was created in 1939.
What type of electric does a home have?
In the US, home electric service is typically 240V AC, 60 hz. The input service is split at the transformer center tap, providing the typical house with either 2 120 VAC circuits or 1 240 VAC circuit, depending on what you're using on a specific circuit. Some other countries use 50 hz.
Difference between potential transformer and current trasnformer?
The difference between current transformer and potential transformer is that the secondary of a current transformer can not be open circuited while under service whereas that of the potential transformer an be open circuited without any damage to the transformer.

Can you substitute 12V. AC 40va Transformer for 12V. AC 1000ma. Home service-out door fountain?
Yes, the output current of a 40va transformer at 12 volts is 3.33 amps. The replaced unit had an output of 1 amp making it a 12va transformer. By doing this exchange there will be three times the capacity of the new transformer over the old transformer.
What is a main distributors service cable and what is it connected to when first enering a build?
The main supply will first come from the power company to a transformer to reduce the voltage then from the transformer to the weatherhead then through the house meter to the main disconnect on the outside of building then to the switchgears main. The cable coming from the transformer to the meter and to the top of the main disconnect is the Main service cable
