Main Panel Check

[bboerner (Billy Boerner, CMI, InterNACHI, IAC2)]

Gerry told me to get with the program and post down here. So here I am. Please take a look at this panel. Trying to figure out why the arc is present.

[dduffy (Dale Duffy)]

Arc?..either I’m blind as a Bat or there isn’t one----

Where exactly is it Billy?

BILLY CHEATED…POSTED 2nd. PHOTO AFTER MY REPLY—PLZ DISREGARD THIS POST–::)))

To the right of the red nuts.

[bkelly2 (Brian Kelly, AZ Cert. # 60234)]

Do you mean evidence of a past arc?

Electricity caused it.

If you do not believe me, remove those wire nuts and touch the panel with the exposed wires.

Ahhh…YOU CHEATED…posted a second photo after I replied…but damned if I know what caused it, why would you care if there is nothing present to cause an arc now?

[bboerner (Billy Boerner, CMI, InterNACHI, IAC2)]

lol So both of you are saying I shouldn’t be worried about it.

Yeah there usual is an ARC there.:mrgreen:

I wouldn’t be too concerned with that.

I would write up what I saw in the report Billy, and reccomend an electrician.

But when a home buyer asks me if I see anything in their prospective purchase the worries me, I reply “Nope not a thing, I am not buying this house.”

“Evidence of past arcing , burn marks in the back of the panel”.
Maybe best to call for an electrician. Homeowner modifications suspected.

Bill when you post some of the questions you might indicate you are asking for input to further your knowledge or if you are asking for suggestions as to how to write a defect explanation for the report. I greatly appreciate all of the impute everyone gives and like to see pics from all kinds of stuff. Keep asking away
