From what I gather, they connected a load at the demarc that drew 80A and let that run for 10 minutes.
I've asked that an electrician take on this issue. I came to the boards because I would like to understand what I can about this.
Strange how they tested it at the demarc. Because the cable from there to the weather head, or top of the meter if underground, is technically theirs.
Unless they removed the meter and put the resistive load at the meter socket. Which was done for my house when I lost a leg, 5 plus different times. Of course they didn’t want to replace the cable because it’s direct buried since 1979. So they just keep coming out to replace the damaged section. Band-aid on top of band-aid. At this point, my house is in the red for them. Because each time a leg was lost... happened on a Sunday. Double time and half for everyone there. Then the 3rd party diggers and such.
