Because he doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing?

You definitely need to test a meter socket with a voltmeter or test switch prior to installing a meter into the socket to ensure that the electrician or “homeowner with YouTube” did not fuck up his wiring.

Me? I’m a Powerline Technician so very invested in anything related to the system.

Unless you’re not an electrician don’t install your panel correctly and dead short your meter on install hot leg to a ground. I’m sure there are videos you can find on the internet.

Also, are meters not tagged in Toronto. None of this makes sense to me. If I can fuck with my meter I can also steal power.

Who tests the meter socket?

This, don’t touch the meter, and definitely do not install it after installing your own panel as you will probably fuck something up having no experience and dead short your meter during install and have it blow glass into your eyes.

Or do it… I’ll get double bubble for the call out.

What if one is dead? How do they rise up from that?
