Two wire feed to the sub panel with a connecting double red wire . Would there be any issues with this setup?
Yes there would be issues.

Sorry, maybe I should have asked what are the issues?
What issues do you see? Also, do you have any other pictures from different angles?
BTW… welcome to the forum!

Welcome to InterNACHI MB Scott.
There should be four wires to the sub-panel from the disconnect panel. 2 hot leads, a neutral and a ground.
Is that a Federal Pacific Panel? I see Stab-lok breakers.
The connecting double red wire is wrong.
It’s hard to tell, but it almost looks like a bonding screw on the neutral bus. If that’s the case, that should be addressed.
Also, I always check to make sure that there are no ground wires contacting the neutral bus.

I think it’s one of the Canadian Federal Pioneer jobs.

Here’s another thread on the issue concerning these panels that might help.

Aside from being an obsolete and potentially hazardous panel, it appears to be a 120V sub panel and it appears that the grounds and neutrals are properly separated.
The improperly installed parallel jumper conductors are redundant as they do not appear to have any load on them.

Agreed. And to dovetail off that @smakaruk1, I doubt those lugs are rated for more than one conductor so those wires should be removed.

Thank you for all the comments. I appreciate your time and the great learning advice.

I agree. Just remove the jumpers and the panel will just be a 120 volt panel. Also as noted this thing is likely obsolete and stab-lok.

Morning, Scott. Hope to fid you well and in good spirits today.
Welcome to the InterNACHI message board community!
Is that a Federal Pioneer panel?
Federal Pioneer and Federal Pacific both manufactured Stab-lok panels.
Federal Pioneer was purchased by Schneider Electric. Both these panel boards have no issues unlike like Federal Pacific were (FPE) breakers have been noted to fail to trip overloaded circuits.
Double and triple lugging.
He already posted the answer to that question. Read the damned label, and stop TRYING to sound smart!

With all due respect, to which you least of all deserve on many threads.
The OP’s original post did not answer this question and was asked by another poster further down.
Read the OP’s first post you tit.
Try to stop sounding so very dumb when you are angry at things you can not get involved with.
***Post substance to the thread, to which you avoid continually; including its a three (3) wire feed. There is a 2 conductor jumper. Double and triple lugging
To the best of my sub panel feed requirement recollection notes, while grandfathered under previous (NEC) versions, modern installations require a 4-wire feed.
You are truly useless.
There ya go again... waiting for everyone else to finish posting their replies before you jump in with rewording their answers to sound as if you came up with them!
Talk about a “Cracker Barrel” and a half-assed “reBranding” attempt!!
So, with that all being said…
Keep in mind that this is a 120 volt panel so only a 3-wire feeder is needed. Of course no 240 volt loads can be used.
