Tony & The Metergod

We stopped in at Progress Energy in North Carolina to see Tony's Meter Wall in his training room. Come with us as he takes us on a tour!

Welcome to Tony's Meter Wall - You Gotta See This!

Tony began building his Meter Wall in 20xx. It came about because of his vision for providing hands-on training in a safe and monitored environment.

"Wow! That's cool. I like that."

Tony & Brad talking about the meter installations, bases, and sockets.

Meter Training: Safety Gear, Disconnect Switch-On/Off, Training Action!

Tony removes the panels for Brad to take a look inside at the test switch, CT cabinet, and CT wiring.

Tony shares details and descriptions of his planning.

Peeking into the training room...

The Wizard of The Wall!

Behind the curtain is Tony, who operates the meter wall's main control panel for the metering training to be practiced on. He controls single phase & three phase options with the flip of a switch for apprentices to practice their developing metering skills on.

Safety, Safety, Safety!

One of these things is kinda the same.... Can you tell which thing is not like the others? Slither your eyes around.... What do you see? Are you a snake hunter or are you gonna get bit?

Safety, Safety, Safety!

Buzz, buzz, buzz.... No, that's not the sound of electricity flowing through this meter installation! Try to see if you can locate the source! Look up, look down, look all around.... There's no honey to be found. If you aren't careful here, you might just be wrigling on the ground (looking for some mud to put on that hornet sting).
