After doing a complete electrical inspection I found a missing knockout enclosure missing in the panel.
Hello everyone,
Posting pictures and a brief description of a breaker panel
This is a Cutler/Hammer box with Cutler hammer Breakers.
It is rated at 125 Amps Max
All breakers are labeled
Loose Grounding connector on the water supply line, Also no Jumper on the other side of the water meter, Not shown in picture
Grounds and neutrals on the same bus
I found this when pulling out a fuse block
in my home I have a generator breaker installed properly for safety out at the pole and in my home for the generator…runs my hole home when power is out great upgrade
I performed an electrical inspection on my own home…I found that I have a neutral and ground wire connected on the bus panel together under the same screw. this is unacceptable and needs to be fixed correct
Really liked this as I will be taking my test for Journeyman Electrician in October, had some good pointers for me.
This is great as I have witnessed so many crazy DIY electrical jobs in houses. the main thing i always run into is no labeling, Double/Triple or quad tapped breakers or existing circuits having power bootlegged off of them and overloading the circuit.
Oh and many panels with 1’ of extry wire for each circuit stuffed in the panel looking like spagetti. (i’ll find some of my old pics.
As seen in the photo the service coming into the house, is in need of tree maintenance. The wire is resting on limbs. My recommendation to the client is to have the trees trimed back at lease 6 to 10ft min from any limbs near the service wires.
Overall I did not see anything out of the ordinary. There was debris and paint splatter as well as popcorn spray. Also, I noticed that all opening with wires had bushing installed.
Relatively new electrical panel. upon close inspections, I see various rated AMP breakers. I would assume that the higher AMP breakers are higher than the lower? Can someone verify that?
Did a general inspection upon our new breaker panel and found a couple open wires above the panel. I will contact the electrician and send them a photo for better information on it.
Starting residential electrical inspections
Hello, these series of pictures are from a fish supplier warehouse. The main electrical panel was located on the exterior where they initially process their shipment. The area was subjected to consistent moisture because the employees spray/wash down the fish. The main panel was located right next to the receiving area. Directly above the main panel, there were air conditioning lines wrapped in insulation, and the insulation was heavily saturated. Water collected in several areas of the insulated air conditioning lines(probably due to leak or heavy condensation, refer to an air conditioning specialist), and dropped onto the electrical panels below. Very hazardous conditions… And to top it off, after I finished inspecting the area, the employee began to wash down the processor which was right next to the electrical panels… After he finished washing down the processor, he began spraying/washing the electrical panels!!! I was absolutely dumbfounded…
I found numerous defects previously undetected by inspectors
grounding , service entrance clearances ,and knockouts
This image shows that the panel is missing 4 of its 6 screws. I am not sure about the tape around it. Seems as though that could be a slight hazard with the adhesive and how quickly the material dries out? Could not get close enough yet to open it up.
This image shows a panel in a condominium. It is partially blocked by a stacked dryer. Though not required by the inspector, dead front removal would be impossible w/o moving the dryer. Interior panel inspection is restricted. The labels are hard to read (or missing) & there is no main disconnect. More than 6 moves would be required to shut down the entire electric in this unit. The mains are located outside of the building above each unit meter. These notes of course would be noted in the inspector’s report.
