Times two....:thumbup:

O boy.....no one except piperunner can do this work!.

Just kidding ...
Looks good

It's the new cancer treatment center's of America bldg just south of Atlanta. I really regret not taking more pics bc I did all the outdoor and indoor gear and all of the ats' and the ups system. From now on I will take pics of everything before and after. The before pics of the ones I posted were crazy. The cabinet was only 2.5 feet wide and 3 feet deep with 10 foot length big wires. Looked like a nightmare!

I do mostly service work so I get much opportunity to do that kind of work. Very nice job, looks good.

nice work.

I like pictures

It looks great, which leads me to ask how close are the lengths of wire?

I could never do that. Looks nice:thumbup:

What is the service rated?

Yup. It's pretty safe to assume if the terminations look neat and pretty then they've probably all been cut to fit

I don't understand exactly what you are asking, but from the service, about 50 feet. To the indoor gear it's about 200 feet. There were actually 2 more cabinets in this gear 2 incoming from 2 service transformers. and two out to indoor gear I will try to find pics of the emergency gear from generators.

It is a 7000 a service

Within how many feet are the individual parallel runs of each other? Obviously they are not exactly the same.

Shoot I bet with 11 conduits they could be as much as 6-8' between the first and last

Yes all cut to fit. The first one took a day and a half. The other 3 i finished in a day a piece.

For a 50' run that could be anywhere between 12-16%. That wouldn't be acceptable in my mind and there is really no way an inspector could catch it.

Exactly. This is another reason we don't do services over 3000 amps, it's just not practical. Our poco lets us feed our buildings with multiple services as long as they're at least 300' apart so we go that route or run medium voltage
