Ben,
Maybe I am a bit undersigted tonight but what are the red wires doing on the grounded terminal buss.....and how about that grounded terminal wire not being identified with white marking like TAPE if a field installation... And I can't tell in the picture if the bar is actually bonded to the panel.... those would be for starters what I see......but it is a bit blurry.... Paul W.

Look on the bus bars.. This is a three phase panel and the owner (who was an engineer) disconnected the connection on the "c" phase and places a piece joining the "b" and "c" phases so he could add another breaker. This takes away the u.l. rating and is an extreme hazard when someone welds and taps a piece on the buss.
