Had a customer wanting to add a circuit to his back-up panel. I removed all the covers to see how everything was wired. Apparently whoever wired this when they installed the generator thought adding a slew of boxes over the panel for extending the circuits was the way to go.
Aside from what looks like over-filled boxes, something doesn't seem right about how they did this. I didn't count the wires for box fill, but it was inspected and passed
It is a 400A service with two 200A panels. Looks like circuits from both panels had to be moved.
The 200A panel on the right has a 100A breaker feeding the transfer switch then to the small sub panel on the right that has the backed-up circuits.
Anyone know of a better way this could have been done?
