Default Temporary Pole - Inspection

Hey Guys,

I thought you all would get a kick out of this inspection done yesterday by one of my fellow inspectors.

Ok...let me set this image up for you.....

It is a temporary power for a job site.....however the drip loops and point of attachment was only 6' in the air.......and so I ask you now.....the electrician was serious about getting this inspection passed.....see any problems with it......

1.) It was only 6' off the ground
2.) Notice the 30A or 60A pullout......No overcurrent protection....just a pullout.
3.) Guess it was weatherproof at one time....not on the side i would venture
4.) Hmmm......nice connectors he used also......

Oh....and only (1) ground rod......Guess he had a $ 1,800.00 ground resistance meter on the truck....naw......the inspector said we need (2) fella....lol

Wow......Joseph....I hope you learn to grow up.

You have some nerve complainin about me when you make a post like that. Why don't you just put me on ignore if you dont want to see my posts. In fact, I sure hope you NEVER need any electrical assistance.....you dont exist to me fella because you are simply picking up where one left off....shame on you.

Nice pics Paul. I had an inspection on a temp pole today at a job site, I need to get pics. The contractor dug a 4" deep "ditch" and buried the SE cable from the bottom of the pole to the job trailer. No conduit, no nothing...haha!

What Poll??......Oh the one where 50+ people wanted me to stay and only 2 wanted me to leave ( oh and one of those was me )that old poll made at 11PM back on the weekend....the other night....not sure I have the luxury whinner....

No need for POLLS.....I believe I am needed since people like YOU cant answer tough electrical questions.....you would prefer to post images of you crying which is fine I guess but not much on my taste ...you know...
