I'm retired but I still go in and take care of panel/service changes occasionally.

We were allowed to just replace the panel on this one. It was ugly when I got there and it was still ugly when I left.

And yeah, I have a level :laughing: That's as good as I could get it. Believe it or not, the panel was more level than the pole.

And, yeah, my table legs weren't secure and most everything dumped.

Are you even an electrician? :001_huh:

We all have our moments. It takes a person with high integrity to admit when they aren't happy with the final product. For that, I applaud you.

From a couple weeks ago. Resi, relocate. For some reason we decided to go up and over with romex to refeed the existing circuits. I'm not sure it was the right call. A fat conduit run would have been easier.

Now that I look back, I'm not even sure why it was relocated. There was enough clearance. Maybe POCO didn't want to squeeze in next to the condensing unit?

Its hard to polish a turd and make it look like a gold nugget.

Hard to make chicken soup out of chicken 5hit.

Hard to make a silk purse from a sows ear.



Anybody else??:laughing:

Can't make chicken salad out of chicken poop. Pass

From the moment I saw the pictures of this mess, I knew I wouldn't be happy with the outcome.

215 volts to ground?

You guys have some crazy **** down there. What do you get between 215 and 208?

And they're not even using it, meaning, their 3 phase service is really only 2 phases. Would that make it single phase?

I remember from an old post you saying that a lot of times on panel changes with old 208 deltas, that sometimes you would leave the high leg in the meter and just turn it into a single phase service. Was that not possible with this one? I cant tell from the pics if you have any 3 pole breakers in there.

 

[chicken steve]

It's evident from every 3rd panel KO that it's 3ph delta MH

~CS~

 

[Rollie73]

The pic looks like 1,3,5 is a three pole breaker.....not sure

It's high leg delta, 3 phase. 240 volts between phases. 120 volts to ground on 2 of the phases and 215 from the 3rd phase to ground.
