In Calif the utility is called by the inspector to plug in a meter after it passes inspection, this insures that it is code compliant; I don’t believe the utility would plug in a meter with the service conductors exposed here even if the inspector passed it. I’m guessing the meter base has been raised by a non-electrician after the original installation – no inspection and no utility involvement. Darren August 27 2014, 8:48 am EDT
