I don’t think I’ve seen one of these yet.
Anything particularly dangerous with these vs the distribution panels?
That GEC shouldn’t be split for the heatpump & enclosure, correct?
Is this missing a dead front? The other disconnect box also looks like this and I called it out, but now I’m noticing there isn’t anywhere to attach a dead front.
I see the double tapping
Their switch gear was fine, not thrilled with the doubles.
Once again, the problems stem from poor workmanship/installation practices, and not the components!
Oh no not another FP!! 
A sheet metal screw in a mounting screw hole is just one of the problems in that panel, Michael.
60 AMP safety throw switch. Can’t tell if the switch engaged or disengaged.
The double lugged 15 AMP buss fuse is a no, no.
Also, a spliced thin awg neutral conductor is for what.
I am curious what this transformer is all about. They just hot wired it off this switch gear and threw on a 15 amp fuse protection and called it good. I do not think this is up to industry standard, eh? Thoughts?
Looks like a doorbell transformer to me but can’t really tell from just the pic.
My thought as well.
That is not a GEC. A GEC would be at the service.
This is 3Ø, 3 pole, 60 amp, non-fused, disconnect switch. They’re using the stripped white conductor as an EGC and have tapped off of one leg to fed a transformer via a 15 amp fuse. That transformer requires a neutral not a tap to the EGC. The connection to the enclosure is also incorrect.
Seems like I’ve seen those on HVAC disconnects and I figure it’s for the thermostat.
Yeah…what he said 
^^^
Not when the switch disconnect handle is located on the exterior of the enclosure.
Robert barely beat me to it. 
Your The Best!
No.
Is this a joke? A blind man can see the deadfront cover. Do you even know what “Deadfront” means? Close the cover and try to stick your fingers where there are energized conductors or components. 
True or false: the majority of electrical panels that you inspect have both a front door and a dead front cover, regardless of the fact that shutting the front door conceals wiring connections?
If you don’t deal with a lot of knife switch external handle disconnects, you can excuse him for thinking a cover might be missing. Most homes don’t have that type of disconnect. Every factory I’ve been has those types so I had to think about it for a second to realize what he was suggesting.
