What the reviewer checks on this drawing
The inspector checks where the pedestal stands relative to the home, its height above grade, the four insulated feeder conductors, the neutral isolated in the home’s panel, and the grounding electrode at the pedestal.

Notes on the sheet
- Service equipment is not mounted on the home. The pedestal is within sight of it and not more than 30 ft from its exterior wall, with the bottom of the enclosure at least 2 ft above grade (NEC 550.32).
- Feeder: four insulated conductors, one of them the equipment grounding conductor (NEC 550.33). 3/0 Cu is 200A at 75 °C.
- The neutral is bonded at the pedestal only. In the home’s panel the neutral is isolated and the equipment grounding conductor bonds the enclosure and the chassis.
- The home’s distribution panel is factory installed and is shown for reference.
- Where the AHJ applies NEC 230.85 (2020 and later) to a manufactured home, the pedestal’s main breaker is marked EMERGENCY DISCONNECT, SERVICE DISCONNECT.
- Grounding electrode and a surge protective device, Type 1 or Type 2, at the pedestal (NEC 230.67). Burial depth per the adopted code for the wiring method used.
- In Canada, mobile homes are under CEC Section 70 and CSA Z240.
Diagram is schematic and not to scale. Field-verify existing equipment ratings. Ratings and conductor sizes shown are typical. Confirm against the adopted code, the equipment listing and a load calculation before installation. Code references are to the 2023 NEC and the 2024 Canadian Electrical Code: see references and editions.
