Interesting thought , If the home inspector is not licensed as an electrician should he even be taking the panel cover off ? At that point he is in a hazardous situation unless he has shut off the panel, and I would guess most do not.

We are required all these regulation why are they exempt..So did I waste all these years of schooling and experience to get to where I am at..When you can take weekend course and go inspecting electrical systems for cash..
 
There is no place in NFPA70E that requires a qualified person to be an electrician. There is no place in the NEC that says an electrician is qualified, solely on the basis of being licensed.

And simply turning off the internal main of a panel does not make it safe for removing the cover. An open panel, with any energized conductors, is not a place for unqualified persons.
 
Jim you would have to through in all that stuff...

You are correct and a piece of paper from a weekend course or one that you get by reading some material and taking a simple test does not make you qualified..Heck going to a 4 year college does not always mean you are qualified..Heck I question myself at times but them someone say how good you are and ego is ok then..


Now I know that leaves me wide open...

The talk was about taking two neutrals and making a pigtail so that only one wire was under a screw instead of two. In doing so are you not creating a MWBC if the ungrounded conductors were on different phases???

I guess I misunderstood too. I thought the OP just didn't want to extend neutrals to the available slots so he doubled up on the closer ones rather than pig tail the neutrals so they would reach.

Sometimes home inspectors are a great source of work for electricians. If that were my job I would have added a ground bar kit near the top of the panel so no splicing would be required.

You need to use a listed groundbar in the listed screws in the listed holes in the listed panel dont you??
