Adding Equipment Grounding bus to Existing Service Disconnect

[xguard]

I'm thinking it may be original neutral bus that come with the disconnect - possibly did not have lugs so user could select mechanical or compression lugs. The fact those lugs have two mounting holes yet don't match up to any holes in the bus kind of means to me they were field installed anyway.

The insulator it is mounted on - is pretty standard, otherwise if it were bolted directly to the can it would be suitable ONLY for use as service equipment.

Polaris connector seems like a reasonable fix to me if there's room.

Good point. I didn't think about the service/sub angle. Would the original listing for the can have specified the insulator to be removed in service applications? Or did they leave it up to the 'qualified persons'.

Most likely a bonding strap of some sort come with it and was never installed, and probably nowhere to be found today.
