What article addresses the trimming of conductor wires?

Came across this today as part of a post-installation. They had 300.5.D.4 and 230.7 issues, as well.

assessment.

Possibly 110.14(A)

Thanks. That is what I was looking for.

I don't think that you'll find specific wording in the NEC that even addresses this installation.

What's funny is they didn't even try to hide it they could've cut the back side of them and hoped it snuck by but nope cut the front blatantly.

Oh and they whittled it so not to damage the wire haha

The best part. They used a 100A ATS ahead of a 200A panel.....

If the ATS protected at 100A, then it should be ok.

Yes but that screws the next guy big time for no good reason. A 200 amp ats uses the same size generator. A non service rated ats after a 200 amp disconnect I could get behind taking the main panel since you're not throwing away all their capacity after the meter.

Even if you had a 200 amp ats you could put load shed modules in too. 100 amps is like saying you don't care about the customer's future

The ATS is the first device after the meter.

In addition to 110.14(A), if the wires weren't oversized it violates 110.14(C) and 310.15.
