allseason Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I had a 30 amp sub panel next to the main panel, 100 amp se cable. The sub is wired directly to the se lugs. Not a homeowner job, older install and the sub appears to be to the boiler. Is this or was this allowed? Click to Enlarge 58.46 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not even understandable since there are open breaker ports right there. - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Meiland Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 And not even understandable since there are open breaker ports right there. Someone would have had to get off their arse and go buy a breaker. Must have been an overwhelming obstacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Lewis Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Chris, the top left breaker looks like #10 gauge on that 50 amp breaker. Do you know what that breaker's for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allseason Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Neal, Picture is decieving, that's larger wires going straight out the side of the main panel, it feeds another sub panel. My recommendation to the buyer was to remove all this and upgrade the service and panel thus consolidating everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
