[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 26508, member: 4"] Re: Breaker Panel Tie-in... What is the CORRECT way of pull power? Matt, Bring a few different kinds of 50a breakers, and a 14-50R on a short length of cord (enough to reach the ground) with tails. Then the electrician can install it and you can plug and unplug yourself. It doesn't matter if the electrician is "licensed" or not, you simply want them to do the work so the liability is not on you. Make sure they tie into the breaker and not into bus bars, and make sure that they tie your ground and neutral solidly. Then meter it yourself before plugging in to it or turning anything on. Then put some load on it, doesn't have to be much, something non-show-critical and meter it again. [/QUOTE]
