Here is Esty's post
I think I got it this time. Too small. My questions are: Use the 1-1 photo as a sample for the 2 situations. I upgrade from 1-1 to 2-2 with a permit and it passed inspection by an electrical inspector and this was charity I did for someone (mobile home park)

So, another paid electrician did from 1-1 to 3-3 and 4-4. but it was inspected by a combo inspector and for my standards that is unacceptable. Any opinion

JIJOLE MAYBE I GOT IT!

The only issue I see is perhaps the one on the right. If that is metal conduit for the grounding electrode conductor then it would need bonding bushings. Can't see any but maybe they are there and I can't see it.
 
Thanks Dennis! I don't know how you did it! SO, will you pass inspection on that workmanship? Photos 2 & 3

What was the scope of work to be performed? Your work looks like it was intended to do an upgrade, the other work looks like they mostly replaced the backer board, with one that won't last long:roll:, and maybe a couple other minor repairs to what was existing.

Why does one get inspected by an EI and the other a combo inspector? What is the laws that apply where this is?
 
No, I am taking about the photos 2 & 3, I think it is a bad workmanship and I don't think an electrical inspector will approved it, but may a combo inspector will. Regarding photo 4, it passed inspection and every think there is up to code. I really would like opinions in this situation as I am dealing with the City on this.
 
Did they actually replace any "wiring components" in pictures 3 and 4 or did they just revamp mounting of what is there?

If you didn't actually change anything but some mounting, do you even need a permit? Here you generally wouldn't. Not saying there isn't some code issues to start with, but here you could put a piece of plywood behind that existing equipment and re-fasten to it without needing a permit. Something other then OSB would be a wise choice though.
 
But it is my understanding on those PERMANENT mobile homes that when those services disconnects get damaged and the "cord" too old it will be mandatory to upgrade as I did in the last photo (the one with the rigid), I think after I did the work the city got ready of inspectors and use only general, but I found out that general (inspectors) are not as qualify on electrical as are the dedicated ones.

This would all be local regulations, including who is required to do the inspections. You need to check with the local AHJ to find out what the rules are where this is at. Otherwise per NEC you could replace the cord with another one if it gets bad, presuming the cord was allowed to begin with. If the mobile home has more then 50 amps load, that changes the game.
