Electrical Panels Gone Crazy

Published by Don Hester on

It amazes me how often I see improper and unsafe electrical instillation.


Here is an example of an electrical panel that has been installed that is a disaster waiting to happen.

Let alone all the improper wiring this is a sub-panel. Then we have metal materials around this panel that could lead to unintentional energizing of these materials.


Crazy Electrical Sub-panel

In these cases it really is best to leave this to the professionals and hire an electrician to come evaluate and repair.


If you find any errors or have additional information that would expand on any code, building standards or manufacturer requirements please let me know.
