Once in a while I see a wire or two in the main service panel undersized for their overcurrent protection devices. Yesterday I counted 13.

Hey Paul that's exactly right. There were no melted conductors or signs of overheating. I've never seen so many 20amp breakers in a distribution panel.

It's not the number of times around the block...... it's the stops at the burger stand on the corner that will come back to haunt you.....
