Just want to add a note that flipping the main breaker de-energizes the rails but there will still be hot wires in the panel from the meter box. Exercise caution.
Fair point, they should not need to dig around to see the ground wires, but with the cover off extra caution is recommended. Dont stick anything INTO the box even with the main breaker off as the wires leading to that breaker are still hot.
