Electrical Contractors: Im running 125A service to my house from the pole thats 540ft away. How?
i trenched the whole way out to the drop-pole already and need to buy the cable to put in the conduit, but am running into huge costs of the cable (500 mcm is what voltage calculators tell me). Is there another way via step-up/down transformers to reduce the cable size thats cost effective? Also where do u buy this stuff? tks
kk plz dont answer if u are going to give a ‘pay someone to do it’ answer – the drop pole is where the power company drops their line from the transformer.
the meter is on the drop pole
pappy- why do u think that i am not ‘legal’ or going to ‘do it the right way’? amazing how trained ppl are to not try to do anything themselves.
Thank you Lindner, that is the setup that i was hoping that was out there available and best fits my needs ( i live on a steep slope where overhead would have to run up my back yard, not cheap or pretty. not to mention that PG&E in california gives only 100ft of drop from their pole free then its $20 per foot for overhead.. )
