I am changing my electrical service from overhead to underground. At the same time I am relocating it and replacing the existing rusted service panel with a new meter base, service panel (MBSP) combination. I have a couple questions:
The new location is further from the home's main panel. Can I connect additional SER to the existing SER? If so what types of connectors and junction box should I use? The current distance from the service panel to the main panel is about 25 feet. The new service panel will be about 60 feet from the main panel.
I have spoken with both the power company engineer and the county inspector and I can choose to mount the new MBSP on a pole or directly to the house. The home is a two section manufactured home and it is unlikely that it will ever be moved. Is there an advantage to either mounting location?
Thanks
