The wires are quickly derated at the vertical run, but your photo does not illustrate how far that bundle continues at the ceiling before they are derated again.
I would not use ventilation (if you are speaking of air movement) in my narrative, for I do not think that is the issue.
I agree ventilation is not the correct term. In fact from what is shown in the photo as far as bundling goes there is nothing to call out.
Typically/usually/normally, I see bunched cables circuit much longer than 24" inches. 1950’s-60’s homes that had panels in the garage. Cables are bunched for 20 plus feet and enter into a wall assembly.
The circuit cables in the OP image look to me more than 9, and run longer than 24" inches.
Cables in homes have so much diversity that the bundling derating (although required) has no real world benefit. You mentioned homes that are up to 75 years old and they obviously didn’t burn down.
This is really from one of your inspections? It looks to be the same photo that was in this thread a few months ago.
That’s not good.
Let me double check. I pulled it from my last report folder.
Good call. Thanks Robert.
Let me get another on.
Jeffrey. Goo fuc- yourself.
I had 3 heart attacks and made a mistake.
Can someone PLEASE get this asshole off my back.
15 years 0of this is crazy.
Sure it wasn’t a Stroke? That I’d believe!!
Perhaps it’s time YOU retire… from the MB!!
Official complaint has been lodged.
If anyone wishes to ride the complaint it would be my pleasure to see Jeffrey Jonas off the message board.
Perhaps no. I think we get the “picture.”
At least members know you ware panties.
Yeah, you’re right, but that’s just the way I articulated here, not in the report. Here is what I said in report: “Electrical wires were bundled together above electrical panel, which can lead to potential overheating issues due to reduced heat dissipation - it is recommended that the wires be separated or spread out around each conductor” and I provided a photo as an example. After reading again, I wouldn’t have even articulated this way again.
So, what did the RCMP say when you reported me this time??
LOL…
Friggin’ WAFI!!
Everyone else is the problem. Not the guy that keeps on posting misinformation and lies.
Spence, Roy Cooke had you bang. “Not to be trusted!”
I think the narrative was ok. Here is an interesting article, it is a good place to start down the rabbit hole. It speaks of a specific risk where wires are pushed into holes and filled with fire stop foam.
