Russ shows us some boxes with covers facing the wrong direction

In this episode, Russ shows us a couple of boxes with covers facing in the wrong direction, which is a violation of Sec. 110.3(B). They’re also the wrong type of covers for this application. Section 406.9(B)(1) requires the covers to be weatherproof even when something is plugged into them. In addition, the unprotected single conductor cables serving the pole are unprotected.
