What is the wiring method of the feeder to that panel?

 

[roger3829]

Temp.

Did not have time to do outside work. Old range cable from disconnect inside.

I love the before picture.

I also love the calm before the storm.....

I was thinking the same thing. :grin::grin:
Someone is gonna be all over the red jumper at the bottom of the panel.:grin:

I had to look twice. I KNOW you didn't mean to put that #14 red jumper in on the bottom of the panel. Or is that some sort of new safety bond that you are anticipating for the 2011 code cycle? :grin:

 

[PetrosA]

The new work is nice, but the old is more interesting

It's right out of the 2011 code. It's a temp jumper so it has to be red.

Who shot the meter with a paintball gun!

 

[~Shado~]

Wow...how did you fit all that into one box? Shame on you...you made it look easy and simple. Now all HO's can see there is nothing to this trade...:roll:

Nice asbestos...

 

[mivey]

Are you going to straighten those wires out in the panel before you are done? Is the panel tilt a lens perspective issue?

I just thought I would give you a little bit of a hard time for good measure's sake.

Looks like you were able to eliminate year's worth of patch-work and give them a nice, up-to-date system. I'm sure they were glad to get rid of the old puzzle-board.

Maybe it's the MBJ.

Speaking of main, it looks like the ML panel is being fed with only three conductors. What is that? Orange MC?

Added: Plus, no cable clamp on that feeder, which looks like it's coming through a PVC offset nipple.

Look harder. It's 3 wire BX coming thru a 2" 90


Will be finishing the job on Saturday....

It does kinda look a different person wired each side of the panel.

I'm just funnin' you, too. It is a vast improvement.

Although I am curious why you didn't use a connector for the BX.

The supply house didn't have a BX to PVC connector in stock

I like the "light duty" marking on the switch in the 'before' pic. I can see how that never caught on. I drive a GMC 1500LD

 

[petersonra]

Its always interesting how bad the mods that get done over time have to get before someone bites the bullet and rips it all out and starts over.

Why were there two meters before?

Maybe it means "for switching lights." :grin:

the only thing my local supply house would have these days would be a 2" female adapter.
