I think it's time for this bad boy to go....

Looks good to me. Just be sure to bond the bathtubs, wouldn't wana get a shock in there.

 

[Hendrix]

is the water bonded?

 

[e57]

Funny you should say that:

Funny things happened there today... No - the water lines are not bonded yet... Anyway the plumber was installing the valves there, and got sparks from the plumbing to the meter enclosure.... :roll: Hmmm.... Ground fault....

I'm not in charge there - otherwise the neutrals in each of the rough boxes would be taped off. And I would not have left the neutral to the feeder for a panel connected to the new main panel when the premise rough got temp'ed in via a site spider box. The result was 50% of the 23A unbalanced load going parallel through the plumbing via a EGC connection through metal framing behind where this picture was taken. So ~10A sparks at ~3VAC between the plumbing and main enclosure - a little tingle too. Quick to find and fix.... :roll:

Yea, I'd say it's time for the temporary bathtub to go.

For some reason - in my head that became 'flush operated'.....

My guess would be the fluid in the tub is a dielectic material to help isolate the electrician from the tub when standing in the tub to work on the disconnect.

No today they filled it with plain ol tap water for a test. It will however be a real PITA to remove once the rock and tile are up.

Why are electricians such prima donnas????? Cant they roll with the flow and just do the task at hand? Oh yeah because they dont want to work for free. Silly Cow.

Because Primadonna Gas and Electric (PG&E the local POCO) is 3 months or more out on pulling in the the new SEC's... And don't allow you to do it yourself to reserve this work solely for themselves as an act of self-preservation, and liability.

I have not seen one but have heard reports of them from a realtor friend of mine.
