A service mast must be installed with a service drop when what condition is met?

The weatherhead clears the roof by at least 2 feet
The weatherhead does not clear the roof by 3 feet
The service drop is less than 10 feet from the ground
The service drop is used with aluminum wire

The correct answer is: The weatherhead does not clear the roof by 3 feet

A service mast must be installed with a service drop when the weatherhead does not clear the roof by at least 3 feet. This requirement is in place to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes. If the weatherhead, which is the upper termination point of the service drop, does not clear the roof by this specified height, it can create hazards, such as potential contact with the roof or other structures, which can lead to electrical shorts or other safety issues. Proper clearance helps protect the integrity of the electrical connection and reduces the risk of damage from natural elements like wind or snow accumulation. Therefore, ensuring the weatherhead has adequate clearance is essential for safe electrical installations.
