Re: 400 amp single phase service wire size residential

said by nunya:

I'm curious about the (I assume Sch 80) conduits coming up in the midst of the foundation. I've never seen this before. Only inside or outside.
Was it done for security or some other reason?
What does the finished product look like? What happens if you need to replace your service equipment?
It is interesting. We run many conduits through slabs, but not foundations or wall footings. We use concrete encased PVC below the slab, transitioning to rigid galvanized steel for elbows and where it comes up through the slab. I assume structural issues have been checked?
