Anyone have any input on this pigtail installation on a new panel? The pigtail ? I have my own thoughts but like input from others.
Thanks

It is all legal as long as the pigtails are in the panel. Was this panel a upgrade?

Hi Greg,
Yes, upgraded from a Federal Pacific Stab-Lock.
Thanks for the reply. I just wanted to make sure. Sometime you get a brain fart.

Isn't the sheathing supposed to be cut back to 1 inch? What's with the wire ties?
