How are the electric meter and breaker box connected?

The electric meter measures the amount of electricity consumed by a building and is typically located outside. It connects to the breaker box, also known as the service panel, through heavy-duty electrical cables. The breaker box distributes electricity throughout the building and contains circuit breakers that protect the electrical circuits by interrupting the flow of electricity in case of overload or faults. This connection ensures that the electricity measured by the meter is safely routed to various circuits for use within the property.
