I started going through all of my job pics and thought you guys would like some bad work to look at.

This box is the phone line connection for level control of a water tank. It comes complete with phone lines bundled with 208 and possibly a totaly incorrect (I don't know the phone providers rules) use of a dedicated phone line, they are running 135 VDC @ several hundred milliamps to a remote well. I would hate to be the phone tech that hooks on to that on accident with a buttset. The plan is to redo it with radio.




I have more if your interested.

I wonder if he is selling those Zinsco breakers in Craigs list

I think you beat me. That's the worst residential I've seen.
Here is another good one;


It may not have wire run through air or Zinsco but it does have some great hack work including;
-multiple wires under one lug
-using a starter panel as a kind of 480V sub panel
-and 10 gauge on a 100 amp OCPD yes the door interlock
has the 100 amp feed from the meter/main and the 277V lights and 120V
transformer Disco. connected right to that.

I was there to do this and only this:

Don't have a picture with the straps on the 1/2" EMT

Are you an inspector? Who did this work, if you didn't?

Thats breaker you see in the panel is the MAIN.. he had to install another 100A to seed the sub.

I had nothing to do with this, I was just sent the pics by a friend, who did the work. I asked for some before and after pics because I wanted to see what they teach union electricicans.

I ask that noone save, or use this pics on any other site.

Apparently he was not taught how to replace a panel. Why not just pull out the old Zinsco and put the new one in its place?

The whole thing is an abortion that makes no sense whatsoever.

TOOL_5150

it was a meter combo. I guess he couldnt handle it
