Just thought it was interesting. I've never seen one wired quite like this. It's a parallel service for a duplex.

Indeed very interesting.......with this in mind...If anyone out their knows of any old panels....any brands. I will pay to have them shipped to my office so that I can do a video on inspecting OLD systems.....
Just contact me and I will pay for the shipping...if you know of anybody who has some old stuff laying around....tag it with your name so I can return it when done ( unless you want me to keep it ) and contact me so I can schedule a pickup.

Hi Jeff,
I'm dying to know, did you call out the line side double taps? Regards Gerry Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience.

In this case, no. It's actually a single conductor, looped at each lug. I did, however, recommend replacing the panel due to its age and low service capacity. It only has 30 amps to each side. . .
