But I don’t think you do most clients or yourself any service by using terminology that they don’t understand when the common terms suffice.Ĭonclusion: Our job can (but doesn’t have to) include educating our clients on terminology, and using commonly recognized terms is still good communication. If you have a client who loves the dive into the minutia of terminology, then indulge yourself. Most people will know what you mean when you say, “neutral wire” and will stare into space as you describe “grounded conductor” and “grounding conductor” and will be thinking about dinner by the time you explain that there is no “ground wire.” Ditto for “service equipment” and “main panel,” and never mind the disagreements over “sub-panel.” If you think your job as a HI is to tell everyone how they are using incorrect terminology over and over (like “cinder block” vs. For me, there is plenty of education without trying to change a client’s terminology that isn’t wrong to begin with.įor instance, just because the NEC uses the term “grounded conductor” doesn’t mean describing that as the “neutral” is wrong. That line will be drawn differently for each of us. Each of us find that we draw a line where we end educating and continue to communicate. I’ve heard the argument that we should use correct terminology because part of our job is to educate. The commonly used descriptive term is the “main panel.” Everyone knows what the “main panel” is, including electricians who, in my experience, use the same term. I only read the term in forums like this and code references. I have never…not even once…heard anyone refer to the service equipment as the “service equipment” and that includes the many electricians that I’ve interacted with. For unknown reasons, that might be worthy of investigation by a student of communication, much of the terminology of the NEC has never found common usage among the general public. The second “leg” of our job is communication. So again - don’t use the term “main” for anything related to the electrical system until you have a firm understanding of the difference between service equipment and other equipment. Look at your picture - the neutrals have been properly isolated from the enclosure as this is a “sub” panel. ![]() If the interior panel was actually a main or service panel, the neutrals would have to be bonded to the enclosure and GE. ![]() “Main” and “service” are synonymous, so you can’t have a “ main” in one location and the “service” in another. “Other equipment” consists of everything else - distribution/sub panels, breakers, equipment-disconnects, etc., etc… “Service equipment” is where the “service” disconnect is located. You have “service equipment” and you have “other equipment.” Nothing else exists. Lose the term “main” from your vocabulary - at least until you have a firm understanding of its meaning. ![]() Many have seen me post this in the past, but it seems to be necessary to repost occasionally… I’ve never seen a setup like this before is this allowed. Also outside there were additional circuit breakers under the main. Hi I did an inspection today and noticed a 200 main disconnect outside and the service panel inside was 150 amp. ![]()
