![]() Besides the gauge wire undersized how would you write up this jumper? This is a 200 Amp sub panel commercial. |

The 3 phase panel would be common in a commercial setting. The supply seems to only be two hot legs instead of three. This may be a three phase panel being used in a single phase setup. To avoid 1/3 of the panel being dead someone added the jumper to supply power to the 3rd leg.
While the 2 conductors in the lug is improper, it is hard to make any other assumptions as to what is happening. The ground wire to the can may also be using a screw that does not have the 2 threads of engagement required. |
