This picture is a typical 120/240 volt single phase load
center. Note the location of the neutral bonding strips. They are
different than the one below. This also has a main shutoff
breaker. |

This is another typical 120/240 volt single phase load
center. This type of panel is a secondary panel because it has no main
shutoff breaker. The neutral bonding strips are in a different
location. |

This is a typical meter base from Bell and Hubbell. There
are 4 prongs where the meter prongs go into. It also has a cover that goes
over the meter and the meter base. |
 |
The meter base is used when the service wire is underground
in 3" conduit. The reason it is so long is when the service wire
comes out of the ground it doesn't have conduit to come up to a standard
meter base. So the wire needs to be covered. by something. |

Here is a picture of a S type fuse and a adapter to
fit in a socket. These are called Time Delay Fuse. They are called
this because they are timed delayed. |
 |
These
types of fuses are W-15 fuse and a T-20 fuse. The 15 and 20 stand for how
many amperes there are. Both of these fuses are made by Cooper
Bussman. |
 |
This
is a 250 volt 100 amp fuse. This is called a sliding cartridge fuse
because it has two prongs that stick out of the ends of the fuse. |
 |
The
fuses pictured to the left are cartridge fuses. The smallest fuse is a 30
amp fuse and the largest fuse is a 300 amp fuse. |
 |
These
fuses pictured here are class SC fuses by Cooper Bussman. These fuses are
used in a fuse box. |
 |
This is a main
shutoff breaker that goes into the first picture. These are used today in place
of the fuses because they are much safer than the fuses. |
