Generated explanation

The illustration shows an overhead electrical service entrance on the exterior of a gable-roofed house. A vertical service mast extends through the roof to a service cap, where an overhead conductor forms a downward loop. The raceway runs down the exterior wall through a meter base and continues to a house entry near the bottom of the foundation wall. Dashed circles identify the service cap, roof flashing, raceway joints, meter base, and house entry as potential water-entry locations. No actual leakage or damaged components are depicted.
