That was interesting listening to them figure out a strategy for that. I had no idea, but that 600 amp gear is main haul stuff and is not scaled like the typical 200 amp hardware.
It is not plug and play at all, so they had to scheme a way to tap it safely. The 200 amp is just plug and play by comparison.


Your 400 amp service after the transformer is about 10 amps at full load if its normal 4160 volt underground.

hots taps are fun to watch. sounds like they avoided that though.

The main trunk 7200 here.
They serviced my my 25 KVA transformer with 1/0 coax.

Yes it worked out really good and then they set it up for that new development so they don't have to screw with that again. They can just reach in there and hook it on with remotes.
