400 amp service question

Absolutely agree!!!! Our Co-op charges $29 per month. I used to be on three. Now I'm on one. That's a lot of KWs of electricity. I'm .15 cents per KWH.

My first career job was westinghouse, we built residential power meters, the old electro mechanical kind.

I don't remember exactly but, back in 1982 they sold in volume for about $40 each.

Fast forward to Oregon, 2008. There on one of my barns was an old westinghouse meter from the 80s.

The co-op had been collecting rent on that meter for at least 25 years.

At the end of the day, they gotta/gonna get their money, one way or the other.

Instead of simply questioning the inspector, would it be possible to find an EXISTING INSTALL in the jurisdiction that is the same or similar enough to what you want to do?

As a percentage,inspectors and code inforcement have more than their share of horse rear ends. Both wear pistols in the county I just moved from and those where I live now probably should. I grit my teeth and feed their ego in hopes of avoiding confrontation. I recently had to meet inspector at the site where I had applied for a buliding permit for new construction. He told me I would need lines to temporary electric service pole 19'6" above ground to prevent arcing to 13'6" concrete trucks entering property. I thanked him for the heads up on something that I wasn't aware of. He later told me slab foundation surface would need to be 12" above grade because there had been multiple 100 year floods in recent years. I again thanked him for telling me so that I can budget for insurance. Never had a moments trouble with him throughout construction. No,I didn't set a 25' temp-pole nor did we pour foundation 12" above grade and he never mentioned it again. I'm suprised inspectors aren't occasionally found in a ditch beaten half to death.

That's gonna be my angle of approach... and begging if necessary...
