I had to comment on something I found upon opening up a 2500 split MDP. I found upon installing my feeders that the previous contractor, had pulled 600's and the lugs where only for 500 so they decided to cut the entire outer strands of the cable off. I raised this issue to the building owner who then called the contractor back and upon him looking at it he then tells us that this isnt the first time they have done this and that it was an engineering problem and that there isnt any code violation or safety hazard but if we felt better he would be highpress the 600 to 500 stud reducers on. I had one of my employers tell me to do the same thing years ago, I told him if he wants to he can do it himself, how many others have done this or encountered this? What are people thinking?
