Saw a home today and the service panel was at the meter on a pole. 200 Amp panel, 2/0 CU The two conductors out the bottom into smaller conduit fed the outbuildings.
The 200 Amp main breaker went to the house. In the house, another 200 Amp panel, 3 wire feed, neutrals (grounded) and grounding mixed under the same terminal screw, and bonded. The two panels are 50+ feet apart and were not connected by fence, etc. To my tired train of thought, - the interior panel needs a separate bus bar for grounding conductors - remove bonding strap Linda Foster www.HomeInspectionsByFoster.com HomeInspectionsByFoster@yahoo.com (210) 347-1023 TREC #7654 InterNACHI #06032691

What type of conduit were the feeders run through - metallic or non-metallic?
Was the building/structure equipped with a grounding electrode? IF YOUR INSPECTOR IS NOT USING THERMAL IMAGING, YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE WHOLE PICTURE ℠ Jeff PopeJPI Home Inspection Service Santa Clarita CA (661) 212-0738 Santa Clarita Home Inspection http://www.MyInspector.net |
