Service entrance checklist playbook

Goal​

Verify service entrance equipment, protection, and clearances before inspection.

Inputs you must know before you start​

  • Service rating and equipment type.
  • Required GFP and SPD provisions.
  • Working space and access constraints.
  • Grounding and bonding method.

The path (in order)​

  1. Confirm service disconnect location and grouping.
  2. Verify working space and access.
  3. Check GFP requirements and settings.
  4. Confirm SPD installation and labeling.
  5. Verify grounding and bonding connections.
  6. Document labels, settings, and equipment details.

This is​

A focused checklist for service entrance inspection readiness.

This is not​

A full service load calculation or utility coordination plan.

Inspection-ready checklist​

  • Service disconnect accessible and grouped.
  • Working space meets clearance requirements.
  • GFP installed where required with documented settings.
  • SPD installed and labeled per listing.
  • Grounding and bonding connections verified.

Worked example​

A service entrance is reviewed for proper disconnect grouping, GFP settings, SPD installation, and working space prior to rough inspection.
