trentw7231 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Trying to confirm my findings. What do you see wrong with these photos. Any information will help. First is a Safety Switch that I noticed is double tapped and the 2nd photo is the subpanel which has pigtails that are reduced from 10 guage to 14 guage with 30 AMP fuses and a 40amp breaker at the main panel labeled for the garage which is not attached to the home.

plummen Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 In the first picture Id be more concerned about all the exposed/unprotected romex myself. Of course I guess it depends on your location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 That's broken. It can't be fixed. Replace it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allseason Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I also see an open J Box in the first pic. Open knockout in the sub panel enclosure and opening in the wall above the sub panel in the second pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the forest, not the trees. The overarching issue here is that the house has outgrown the electrical equipment. Time for an upgrade.
