It still might be a good idea to ask the service people to come out and look the interface over. And be sure to ask if their fuses are late-model current limiting fuses or not.


In my experience that can lead to an expensive retrofit.


IDK what service people those would be, since what he's dealing with appears
to be customer eqpt, not the utility's side.


Any disconnect I ever saw had some kind of protective panel over the line side.
It might be old and have fallen out or disintegrated. I saw a piece of
cardboard shoved in one once. I'm sure Greg & Clare have other stories to tell.
