Not sure if anyone can help, but here it goes.
I have a customer who is installing an 800a commercial service. He ran (2)500mcm copper wires for each leg of the service out of the ct cabinet and up the mast for the power company's (AEP) connection. Now they are telling him he needs to get 4"x8" x 1/4"thick copper plates and drill holes in them for lugs. The power company with then attach their own lugs to the plate to finish the connection.
Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? I was always told that all you have to do is leave the wire out of the mast and they handle it from there.
Thanks,
Matt
