This home has a new 200 amp circuit breaker panel that was installed within the past 10 years. The old fuse panel was replaced with a 60 amp sub panel.
The wiring that feeds the sub appears to be the original (cloth covered wire?)
Is there any issue with this wiring at this point as to what is visible in the photo attached?
2 story home on wood pilings. 200 amp panel - approx. 10 yrs. old is downstairs and the 60 amp sub panel is in the location of the old fuse panel upstairs.
No that is what I found funny. The CEC has no code about direction.
This is what it says!
Which end is up?
Service circuit breaker panelboards should be mounted in a vertical position although there is no rule that actually says so.
There is only the ? of Professionalism. Panels mounted in a vertical position do look more handsome, don,t you think?
This is strait from the CEC simplified edition. I got a laugh when I seen this about 6 yrs ago.
Rule 6-212 does apply to breaker orientation and rule 14-502.
