An electrical service equipment designed to provide a 200-ampere electrical supply to a manufactured or mobile home. This pedestal typically houses a circuit breaker panel, metering equipment, and receptacles for connection of the mobile home’s electrical system. It serves as the main point of connection between the utility grid and the residence, ensuring a safe and reliable power distribution.
The use of a 200-ampere service offers the capacity to power a wide range of appliances and electrical devices commonly found in modern mobile homes. This includes air conditioning, electric heating, large appliances like refrigerators and ovens, and various electronic devices. The higher amperage rating provides enhanced safety and reduces the risk of overloading the electrical system, minimizing potential hazards such as electrical fires. Originally, lower amperage services were common, but as mobile home technology and energy demands increased, the 200-ampere standard became prevalent.
