Workmanlike installation

[220/221]

There's a difference between doing quality work and workmanship, and outright doing extra work and/or using more and/or different materials.

Sometimes.

Othertimes, that IS the difference.

Very nice work.

Thanx!

How did you feed the GFCI at the right of the panel?

That's where circuit 27 goes, through the board under the panel, and back through in the back of the box.

No AFCI's?

They're in the sub-panels at the bedrrom end of the house; bedroom receptacle circuits only.

Any bonding of the two EGC bars?

In the main disco's in the garage; this is one of two ML panels.

Did you mean to say wire pullers or electricians?

Ever had the owner/buyer there and have them say "this is a good job isn't"?

Oh I mean electricians. I have guys that I have no idea how they ever got a license. I have one right now, that I told the guy three times to make sure and not bury a j-box behind the drywall (and no not the drywallers fault, it's above what used to be a t-bar ceiling). Want to guess where the j-box is?:roll:

All the time, and that's when you find out how good of a diplomat you are.

Very nice. Personally, I like a loop being left in the large conductors in case they ever need reterminated in the future, but not having them there sure makes it look a lot neater.

Why didn't you just nipple over to the box with the GFCI?

I've learned not to say, 'this looks like ^&^%&%^,' before asking, 'Who did the work?' I see so much hacked up stuff and find out the Owner did it and is very proud of their fire hazard. LOL

Yeah I learned that long ago.
I did have a roofing company owner say to me Boy, whoever did that shingle next to the dormer over the flashing really screwed it up!
I then raised my hand and said, "that would be me."
I was laughing the whole time cause while I can do some roofing repair, I ain't no roofer!

I dunno.

I dunno.

I dunno? Did you ever hear any of Bill Cosby's standup? "I dunno? I ask you, Son, was your head with you all day today?!" "I dunno...." "See! Brain damage!" :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:

Yep. That was an HBO special, and it was called "Bill Cosby: Himself."

Workmanship and exposed wiring at breakers/lugs

Workmanship and exposed wiring at breakers/lugs

Where is the requirement for only 1/8" exposed wire at the breaker or lugs in a power panel? Often I see 1/4" ot 1/2" and the power panel has been inspected and passed. So, is there a finite hard requirement other than "good" workmanship is required? thanks

There is no such requirement other than the breaker instructions and 110.3(B)
