Default Cable Clamp

I thought I'd leave one more jewel before I head out for the morning. Notice the method used to secure the feeder cable at this panel.

Jeff that is flexible cord not cable.

So wrong connector and wrong conductors.

The conductor was actually a "plug-in" type for a manufactured home. A four-prong, 240 volt cord and plug, plugged into the service meter.
