Re: See anything wrong with this disconnect?
Sounds like Roy nailed it. Blades not fully engaged and there's definitely a problem with the neutral bar.

Re: See anything wrong with this disconnect?
Roy, I'm still not concerned "today" ! :-0
Actually, if you put on your glasses the white is grounded. They do not attach to a fuse as they look at first glance.

Re: See anything wrong with this disconnect?
Roy wins this one.
This diconnect was signed off by the AHJ. My client walked away from the deal. To many things wrong with the old electrical. I like the sticker they use though.

Re: See anything wrong with this disconnect?
The white conductor is not connected to the fuse, look again. When was it inspected? The fact that there is an inspection sticker may not mean much unless if was recently inspected. Anyone could have added those other conductors after it was inspected.

Re: See anything wrong with this disconnect?
Is that a service disconnect for an older fused panel?
And I dont pay any attention to approval stickers either. RM is right that it could have been modified later, and it's also possible that the AHJ just missed stuff ...

Re: See anything wrong with this disconnect?
That neutral is not fused. It just disappears from view behind the fuse clip and loops around to the bar.
