Using this service to run pool feeder.
I had a side-view pic of this in this thread. Someone pointed out the clearance violation; I said it wasn't in the way, and it was just the angle of the pic. Guess I wasn't really paying attention.
Opened it up and found this; LFNMC running to an irrigation control. Notice the color of the jacket; its a new install.
That cable is then fed by this circuit breaker.

On this next job, the pool contractor called and said the homeowner had their own electrician come install the equipment; however, he asked me to go look at it to make sure it was correct.
First thing I see walking up is this; it contains the pool feeder, and goes underground to the service about 30' away.
Then I open the cover and find this. (2008 NEC applies) Also, this panel is listed only for siemens/murray circuit breakers.
I snapped a couple of other pics that apparently didn't save in my phone. The pool feeder was 10-3NM running underground to the service.
Here are a couple of more though;
The pumps were wired for 240v; here are the conductors. Those spade terminals are 14-16.
This automation panel has two transformers that can be wired for 240/120.
What you see in the pic below is their attempt to connect them @ 240v; you can see some of the label in the background explaining the connections. The problem is that the brown wire is from one transformer, and the blue is from another, and this electrician wired them in series with each other. When I checked the service disconnect, the circuit breaker feeding this panel was tripped.
