Right Answer is:

Service equipment

SOLUTION

Service Equipment:- The necessary equipment, usually consisting of a circuit breaker(s) or switch(es) and fuse(s) and their accessories, connected to the load end of service conductors to a building or other structure, or an otherwise designated area, and intended to constitute the main control and cutoff of the supply.

Service equipment may include circuit breakers or fused switches that are provided to disconnect all ungrounded conductors in a building or other structure from the service- entrance conductors. It is important to understand that individual meter socket enclosures are not considered service equipment. A case can be made that the potential and current transformer cabinets associated with utility meter enclosures are also excluded from the definition of service equipment.
