How do you write up a nicked wire in the main panel? Also, do you say anything about splices in the main panel?

"nicked wire in the main panel" Just like that. ![icon_smile.gif](upload://b6iczyK1ETUUqRUc4PAkX83GF2O.gif)

Or you could elaborate a little and state that the insulation was nicked and damaged.

2) Describe the function of the component


3) Describe the defect


4) How the defect will impact the client


5) How the defect should be corrected (note: this is different from speculating on solutions)


6) Who should correct the defect


7) When the defect should be corrected (amount of urgency)


Quote:
An electrical wire in the main panel is reduced in effective diameter by being nicked. This may cause the nicked area to increase in temperature which is a possible fire hazard. Have the wire replaced by a licensed electrician before loading the circuit.
