Glad you guys enjoyed this...:lol:
i dont see the bond for the panel, grounds grounded to each other nothing else?
I don't believe there is a grounding electrode system of any kind at the house. Possibly a GEC coming out of the meter base, but I did not stick around to look.
conduit with mains not properly installed (i think its a conduit)
Actually that's the meter base directly above the panel.
Now that is one back woods service upgrade, if that is the service panel all I can say is WOW
Yup it's the service panel.
Please put the panel cover back on! Nice knife switch with spare, Is that a feeder or a 20 amp, 120 volt branch feeding this panel.
I think the knife switch is actually no longer doing anything, fortunately. You are correct that the panel is fed with only 120 volts, so I think you win for being the first to mention that.
I have done many 120 volt 15 amp service upgrades, but I don't think I have ever run into one like this:happysad:
I think you win, too, because you realized it's a 120V
service. The service drop drop actually had the second leg coiled up and taped off outside the weatherhead.
The panel is fed 120V. Do I win?
...Your right. I did not see Hurk's post the first time.
Well if you're honest, then I guess you win too.
Non listed stuff in the panel.
Close that up and walk ,,,, no Run...........................fast
Or sell a complete upgrade.
That's pretty much what I did. 'Sorry sir, we can't install solar on your house unless you get a service upgrade.' :happyno: (They needed a new roof, too.)
I'm a little surprised people focused on the open KOs, I have to admit I didn't notice them while I was there, with everything else to look at.
No one mentioned white wire used for an ungrounded conductor... to jump the two busbars.
Amazingly, this panel doesn't violate the six handle service disconnecting means rule (because the lower left tandem breaker is not being used). The lack of a main breaker was what warned me I was in for something strange before I even took the cover off.
