That is an abomination. What prevented you from using a 3-gang meter socket?

 

[electricalwiz]

I would have a used a 3 gang meter socker

Just a tip, turn the SE cable around the next time. You have the inside of the coil facing out which is why you see all those ripples. If you flip it thn the smoother side will face out, no ripples.

A 3 gang meter socket costs lots of money. 3 free meters cost free.

 

[Haxwoper]

Oh, and remove your ground bars too!

Had bad experiences the past couple times with getting ganged meter sockets from billows, so this time we just went with a trough. It was originally 4 meters but the owner changed last minute and was combining two apartments

I didnt know PSEG gave free meter sockets, I always buy them, how much aggravation is there to get them

The labor to assemble that mess wiped out any cost savings, and it looks awful when it's done.

 

[jett95]

Thanks for the tip i didnt even notice that

Walk in with permit in hand, they stamp it and you pick up whatever you need from the shelf. Meter pans with meter hub, different style POA's, cable wire to hold the overhead neutral line (like a wedge clamp but what the PoCo uses), and meter adapters.

Really that is good to know, but I am hour from Moorestown, just earier for me to buy them

We get them like 10 at a time when we go so you can always have them on hand

That's not true, not true at all.

and it looks awful when it's done.

I don't agree with this either. It looks fine and I guarantee the customer doesn't know the difference.

They give you all that, that might be worth it now. Do they also have multi gang meter sockets? what about with the breaker encloures

Take them and use them in the panels that don't come with them.

How do you get that many if you need the permit

AFAIK, the biggest they provide is a 2-gang meter pan. If you need 3 or more you have to do as the OP did and get individual pans.

They do not provide meter/mains (meter pans with breaker enclosure inside).
