Default It's not necassary to remove Electrical Panel Cover.
I like this Electrical Panel. It took me approximately 1 minute to inspect the wiring.

"Click to Enlarge"
Attachment 12754

All I had to do was turn on my flashlight and look inside the see-thru cover to inspect this SE panel.

No but it is insulative, and non conductive and as a bonus you can see any arching without exposing youself to the dangers. Maybe someone should patent it.

If and whenever you do watch one...don't even think about watching them out of order...start with the first one, first...or you won't understand what is going on.

Pretty cool movies, though...makes one think...

This is simply a green Plexiglas cover that was custom made by the homeowner. I have no idea what was going through the inventor's mind while he was cutting this in.

I found this panel behind a sliding glass mirror (which I had to remove).

No...this is not approved material. I simply wrote it up.
