Would you remove this cover?

Would you remove this cover?

[James H. Bushart]

NOPE.

Just write it up from what is seen and let the electrician who installs the proper equipment decide what he should do when he gets inside.

[Michael Larson]

Yes I would.

With PPE on.

Jeff, did you?

Curiosity killed the cat.

You could inspect the main first and see if a breaker was available to turn it off.

Not everyones cup of tea though.

[Wayne B. Wilson]

Yes With protection on . After i tested the surface .

Here is the service panel.

[Wayne B. Wilson]

well just a few spaces to fill and isn't that one of those good panels? I see nooooooooooo problem . ( just kidding)

[Jeffrey R. Pope]

Well, I certainly wouldn't advise anyone to remove a cover if they feel it may be unsafe, but I did remove this one. As it turns out, it was another FPE panel.

[Brian E. Kelly]

Jackpot.

[Joe Funderburk, CMI]

I doubt I'd take the cover off. The cover by itself means it needs an electrician to service it. Why take any risk at all???

[Russel Ray]

I don't even know what it is since it's labeled "sub panel." What the heck is a sub panel?

Exactly how I would handle it.

...and, after taking the sheet metal covering off by removing the drywall screws, the next question is....would you put them back?

I keep extra panel screws with me.
