Power Service of LION
Panel to rhe right is where the power comes into the building, the three panels in front of us are transfer switches that connect between our generators, and the MDU high line.
The high line out on the power pole has 3 100A fuses. Once past our transofrmer we have thousands of amps available.
The gnereator in the powerhouse puts out 100kW, our normal loadings are between 20 and 30 kW, with peak loadings on sunday at over 40kW.

Moving the electrical service box is no easy matter. Aside from cost and finding a new location, all of the wiring has already been cut to fit. All of the incoming wiring from throughout the house would have to be lengthened. That could well mean stringing new wiring since most codes frown upon splices inside the service box. Hot wires should feed uninterrupted into the circuit breakers and the neutral wires should feed uninterrupted onto the common bar inside the service box.

Vandals knock everything on its side?
Absolutely simplest solution.
Design to bridge the space across the service box with tangent track(s.)
Lay single tracks in steel studs, rain gutter style. Studs simply sit on abutments with pins for alignment. Rail alignment assured by having rail joiners on each end that can be slid onto rails in studs. I use the equivalent for cassettes - the weight is negligable.
Put the monster through girder bridges in place when you want to operate. As soon as wheels stop rolling, remove and stow the bridges - every time!
I leave designing safety circuits for, "Forgot to put in the bridge," situations as an exercise for the student.

What ya do here, if yer in the mood, is convert the old panel to a junction box. And extend each cable over to the new panel.

You Guy's are both ''SILLY'' LOL.....Neither one of them can have pups....they are brother's. Got them both together 8yrs. ago from a close friend, who breeds German Boxer's........trust Me, they know how to do it! They have been clowning around together since I got them. Boxers are known to be the Clowns of the Pedigree's and live/play as if they were 3yrs. old all the time, also can be very defiant, when they want to be, 80 to 85lbs of solid muscle, but yet are very loving and protective of children.
Take Care!

The point of no obstructions is to allow access. What many don't realize is you should keep the area beside it clear too.
Many electricians will stand to the side when they flip the breakers. That way, when something goes wrong, they are not standing directly in front of it.
Additionally, smart meters cannot cut your power. The utility can add a load limiting unit onto the socket and mount the meter on it, for your delinquent customers, which will allow them to watch TV or cook dinner, but not both. Draw too much current and the power goes out, and you have to go outside to reset it.
