Just noticed the new CU in my parents' house, and the meter tails go in at the top straight into the 100A breaker. Is this OK, as the tails could be pulled straight out of the top, although I guess if the terminals are correctly tightened, this would not happen?
The reason I ask is that the CU in my present house (and all the previous ones as far as I can remember) has the tails entering at the bottom, going behind the rail and looping over to feed into the main breaker terminals. This would provide some protection against loose connections allowing the tails to be pulled out.
