Eew I understood. I assumed EEW was an acronym.

It is. It stands for eew.

Grounds and neutrals landed on the same bus. (or is that permissable in the NEC?)

If it is service equipment it is permitted. Neutral and ground are the same point at service equipment.

Is there a neutral feeding the panel? Don't know if I'm not seeing or it or if it's not there.

Also, can somebody explain to me the 4-pole main breaker?

On a picky violation note, my guess is that panel is rated for that many double breakers to go with all those full size breakers.

Looks like a GE main breaker and panel circa 1988. They used to put these in 200A panels and I think they still do. Never a big fan of them. Note that the branch breakers are CH :angel:

Yes, but it's listed as EEW.

To run EMT on the surface around the living room is eew.

To run emt on surface of a concrete wall in an unfinished basement looks like a professional installed it vs trying to find a way to attach NM cable for the same purpose.

I use EMT in dwellings all the time. Not as primary wiring method for the entire dwelling, just in those occasional places where it may be better than stringing NM cable.

If nobody cares about the look it works great in old homes in say second floor bedrooms where it is difficult and time consuming to try to fish cables to where desired outlet locations are and cost is much less than surface metal raceway.
Keep it low and right next to base trim and it doesn't even get noticed too much.

It's an ITE panel.

 

[kwired]

The only non approved breaker in that panel from what I can see is the Homeline breaker.

Main breaker is not four pole (might be built like it is) it is a listed two pole assembly. There is a difference between paralleling 2 - two pole assemblies in the field and using this listed 2 pole assembly.

Why would they do that, we are supposed to be looking for code violations

 

[ActionDave]

It's in a dwelling. EMT is allowed in dwellings, isn't it?

Of course. Why is it in this dwelling?

 

[480sparky]

Of course. Why is it in this dwelling?

My guess is because NM would look fugugly.

:lol:

I love a good run of EMT.
