Enclosure around Service?!
Why do people do this? 
They want to sell their hoe. I told them they need a service change.

Why wouldn't they? Homeowners don't know the clearance requirements, heck a lot of ECs don't even follow 110.26. 
The home owners just think "That electric stuff is ugly and will never need to be worked on."

I was trying so hard not to go there.
Was that a service change with a 'happy ending'?

I don't think I'd call those things inside 'breakers' any more. I'd call them 'high resistance series conductors of no safety value whatsoever'.

That's what I would call them. To a customer, I would call them "Zinscos" or "Federal Pacifics".

I've seen worse. At least the panel door opens, and the cover can be removed.
