Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.

The NEC allows PVC conduit to be used for service entrance conductors. Remember that a disconnecting means must be placed as near as possible to where the conductors enter the building.

Local codes may make further restrictions. If in doubt, contact a competent local electrician for help.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
