I know that is what the code says, but why? That makes a violation of 300.20(A).

Slot the enclosure, using the provision of 300.20(B)(1). This is why you use Federal bushings, to take advantage of this. Federal busings are porcelain or Bakelite.

I still maintain that the posted pictures, while certainly neat, are a violation of 300.16(A).
 
Are the J-Boxes grounded (EGC)

Are the J-Boxes grounded (EGC)

It looks good. I done one similar to that here in Durham NC.
Be sure your J- Boxes on the sides are grounded. Also that romex in the bottom has to be hooked up. At least the ground and the neutral.

What is that in the bottom of that panel? I Don't see that type of splice much.

Monkey Face fitting - the little porciline weather-head type fitting on the end of the flex.... Oh Frank already mentioned that..... But if you get a hold of them - keep them - very usefull little item.

Anyway Frank - Nice work! Just hoping you closed that KO on the right side? ;)

How????? :confused:

As for slotting the box - in currents this low I hardly see it effective or for that matter necessary even though technically a code violation of 300.20B. In many years of doing just the same and seeing much older installations of the same method - I have never seen an issue with it once... Another (IMO unnecessary) improvement would be to make one wall of each of the boxes aluminum or some other non-ferrous material.

What's a loom ?

A component of old K&T wiring that surrounded the wire on entry into a box. Similar to the sheath on today's NM, only it went around a single wire.

Interesting pictures. Nice work

Thats great stuff, thanks for the Art. I'm just spoiled with new construction.

Broke apart new LED exit sign today & noted a loom that was installed from a circuit through the circuit board to the outside LED of the charge/check button application.

I had to put it down till tommorrow cause it the first all metal one I ever came across. :roll:

Easy there cowboy. :smile: Just a funny observation.

However, if he had cut slots in the box, would that prohibit the use of the
metal cable clamps?
