Not minimum 13' height (NEC) above floor.

No bushing (phenolic insulator).

Inadequate drip loop.

Inadequate attachment to wall.

The amperage rating of the 3/0 (225-amp) copper service entrance conductors exceeds the amperage rating of the electric meter socket enclosure (135 amps) as viewed on the meter label.

The bonding bushing conductor is in contact with phase lug.

Note:

Also attached to the wall is a section of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) conduit that is NOT acceptable as electrical mast material.

Electrical Panels-Panel #1 (Service Panel)

Description: GE 200-amp Main Breaker Panel with a 200-amp main disconnect (no other breakers).

Panel/components are not connected to a service grounding system (SGS) SGSs include:

1. Grounding electrode conductor (GEC);
2. Grounding electrode (examples: driven rod(s), concrete encased, grounding ring/plate, water pipe where acceptable).

Main lugs are double tapped to feed panel #2.

The 200-amp service panel is inadequate for feeding the 200-amp.

A main bonding jumper connecting the neutral and grounding bus bars should be installed in the service panel only (point of first disconnect).

No conductors attached to bonding bushings.

Main feed conductor over-stripped (1" max. according to label).

A cable connector should be installed to protect the conductor insulation from abrasion.

CONDITIONS NOT DEFECTS:

The amperage rating of the 3/0 (225-amp) copper feeders exceeds the 200-amp maximum rating of the load center.

This is acceptable as long as the amperage rating of the main disconnect does not exceed the amperage rating of load center.

Multiple grounds under the same screw.

Vinyl insulation extends several inches into the panel.

Unfilled holes.

Missing cable connector.

Deadfront cover attached with improper screws.

Sharp, course-thread screws can cut conductor insulation potentially causing a dangerous arc flash.

Deadfront cover missing filler plates (twistouts).

The amperage rating of the 125-amp backfeed breaker exceeds the 100-amp maximum amperage rating of both the #4 copper feeders and the load center.

The 125-amp backfeed breaker has no retaining device.

No bonding bushing.

Wherever feeders enter or leave a load center through concentric knockouts, a bonding bushing must be installed to ensure electrical continuity of the bonding/equipment grounding system. Bonding bushings should be connected to the neutral bus bar.

No insulated bushing is installed to protect feeders against abrasion where they enter the load center.

Multiple 20-amp breakers are connected to 14-gauge conductors. 20-amp breakers should be connected to 12-gauge conductors.

The GFCI breaker is connected to the grounding bus bar, not the neutral bus bar.

Multiple neutral conductors under the same screw in the neutral bus bar.

This is wrong because it complicates isolating the neutral for one of the circuits involved.

Pig-tailed neutrals.

Again, this is wrong because it complicates isolating the neutral for one of the circuits involved.

Neutral conductor.

In order to complete their insertion into the 125-amp breaker (lower right corner) the #1 (150-amp) copper conductors had strands cut away.

Cutting strands reduces the amperage rating of a conductor. 37. Unfilled Knockout.

Unfilled Knockout.
