So they must have had a feeder conductor as the casing is thicker than the breaker conductors.
Never seen that.
What is the breaker upper right side with a yellow outline?
Does look neat.I am guess 200 amps since I cant read the main.

that yellow outline around the breaker that is a lockout tab so if somone working on something on that circuit they can use the padlock to lock it out or some case lock it on so someone don't turn off the critcal circuit like computer or burgular alarm.

it more common to see that in commercal location so that way it work two way one for safety reguation or used to lock on something that someone dont turn off actidentally.

Merci, Marc

Mark is correct. It acts as a lockout. I blew it up for you to see it a little better.

It's just skins off the Romex. We do it as we wire up the house, then when we make up the panel its a cinch to fill out the directory accurately.

Thanks for the answers,
I have seen the lockouts before
The Romex is rare around here.
Nice idea.
