Hi all,
I went with dad to middle TN to look at some new houses because dad's new job is causing him to move.
we went to a brand new house and the main panel was off the breaker box and this is what i saw.
it was a siemens 200 amp box with the standard breakers for everything.
there was a 25 amp breaker for the hot water heater which i thought was odd.
the biggest thing i saw was that the electrician had the neutral wires connected to the ground.
i even looked twice.
the panel looked real nice wiring wise, but isn't this a code violation?
i thought you had to place all grounds on the ground bar and the neutrals on the neutral bar.
have i missed something?
thanks in advance,
jimmy
