This was the violation?
How can you people even see the writing? I mean geez, the picture was as fuzzy as a peach! LOL.

While not a "true crime", we always pop an extra hole for the water/rod ground wires and put them is an RX connector to secure them.
Like you (and the bushings), this is something I was taught/told and have never even considered looking it up for a code reference.

Well, I figured the yellow glob on the right being missing from the breaker on the left was visible enough. :D

I thought that Bob's thought that I'd expect ya'll to see the numbers on the handles was pretty funny. :D

The bright yellow lettering on the face of the breaker, no matter how fuzzy, is the dead giveaway that it's a HOM breaker.

I figured it was only fuzzy to me as my glasses are out in my van.

That was a nice peice of peer-reviewed work. Never learned so much in one spot, or seen this done in the trades before. Very nice idea. Thanks for putting it out there.
 
Re: A few panels minus two

George, what color are those two conductors landed in the neutral bars? "Can't tell"
 
Re: A few panels minus two

It is hard for me to tell, but it appears that the neutral bar and the grounding bar are still tied together. If this is a load side panel, wouldn't the cross tie be required to be removed to isolate the grounds. Since I did not see the ground screw installed, that is what I am assuming. Any other opinions or am I looking at it wrong?
 
Re: A few panels minus two

He is ok. Ground bar kit installed, bond screw removed and both isolated, just can't tell about identification on a couple of grounded conductors 200.6 05'NEC. As far as SQ D and siemens at disconnect and disconnect location I would have be on the job to inspect to see whole picture.
 
Re: A few panels minus two

Note. I did not see any tabs on home runs. What do you fire it up and locate circuits on trim out? Also, I usually keep My AFCI feed and grounded conductors together untill I make up the panel. George I am not trying to be impossible, just can't tell. Sorry not code issues just install procedures we all do things different.
 
Re: A few panels minus two

You are correct. I did not notice the ground bar kit and looked only at the factory installed bus bars. A typical install in my area would have removed the cross tie (if allowed by the manufacturer)to accomplish the isolated grounding. I challenged one installation (actually 40 since it was a apartment installation) when they removed the cross bar. Manufacuter came back and stated that they could bemove the matel bar and replace with nylon bar.

Why would it???? Same as a metal stud install do you bond all framing members in that senario.
