Custom Junction Boxes

What Are Service Entrance Transitions?

A service entrance transition refers to the junction point where power from a utility company enters a building’s electrical distribution system. This typically involves multiple components such as enclosures, conduit entries, busbars, breakers, grounding, and safety barriers.

Transitions must be designed to:

  • Protect internal wiring and electrical components from external hazards

  • Comply with utility regulations and local building codes

  • Maintain proper separation between high-voltage and low-voltage systems

  • Facilitate easy access for maintenance or inspection

Custom fabrication ensures the transition is properly aligned with the layout of your facility, whether you’re connecting to a transformer, generator, or direct utility service.

Custom-Built for Code Compliance

Every municipality and utility company has its own specifications for service entrance construction. That’s why Andrews Fabrication works closely with our clients to ensure every detail meets or exceeds those standards.

We have extensive experience fabricating service entrance enclosures, metering cabinets, tap boxes, generator docking stations, and more — all tailored to integrate seamlessly into your electrical system.

Our products are:

  • Built to meet UL 508A, NEMA, and utility-specific requirements

  • Available in NEMA 1, NEMA 3R, NEMA 4, and NEMA 4X ratings

  • Fabricated from aluminum, stainless steel, or powder-coated steel

  • Equipped with grounding lugs, copper bus bars, cable supports, and mounting panels
