Neutral issue. Don't be that person.

Don't trust the POCO or the previous EC.

House just a couple years old has had issues since day one. EC says my side is good. Area POCO says all good on his side.

Recently a new building added to the sight and it was discovered the neutral had never been connected at the POCO pad mount secondary.

How in the holy hell do you miss that from day one?

Pictures when I get one.

Neither of them are newbies.

Not quite what I envisioned. Guessing the EC put neutral in lug but factory connection of lug to buss was substandard. Still, how the heck do you miss this when neutral problems have been evident almost from the beginning?

No, he didn't find the problem. He missed it. Obviously no one took the time to actually LOOK for the problem. Consequently, they were part of it.

Not the inspectors job.
