Hi to all,
Tim I could do with a larger picture but it appears that the panel bond (s) are the 2 green screws on the neutral bridge at the very top of the panel. Regards Gerry Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience.

That doesn't look like service equipment to me. . .

Why are you looking for a bond in a sub-panel? BTW- The bond hole is the large (1/4") hole in the center of that bar between the neutral bars. Not the small green screws. |

Agreed....and the hole in the middle of the buss is not bonded...because in fact it is a sub panel based on its MLO setup.
I have to say....I simply HATE when electricians leave labeled romex in the boxes.....to me it is unprofessional......fine for the rough in...but then when you come to label the panel...remove the freakin things.....nasty if you ask me.

See, now I do like to leave small pieces of NM sheath as wire labels. Much smaller then in the pic though. Typically about 1" long. And usually though only if it is a flush panel. That or I leave the sheath a bit long inside the panel and label right there.
If it is a surface panel I label the wire with a NEW Sharpie just before it enters the panel. I do NOT like to reply simply on the panel directory alone. Even at the complete end of the job. See, even good electricians have differing opinions. |

I agree. Like I said, the pieces I might leave are way smaller and neater than that panel.
I like them because no matter who messes with, and rearranges the panel, the circuits themselves are always labeled. Not just the breakers. |
