So a contractor I do work for sent a pic and asked if there’s anything wrong. Besides the obvious I told him those pancake boxes only allow for 6 cu in and having a 12/2 romex adds up to 6.75 cu in. I was called on this once during an inspection. The electrician on the job is saying grounds don’t count unless they are isolated. From what I’ve researched the ground does count, if there are multiple grounds they all only count as one wire but still you’re supposed to add in 2.25 cu in for it. Does anyone know the truth? Im unable to dl the photo for some reason..
