Help, electrician needed.

I no longer say, "Missing strain relief, " 'cause most electricians have no idea what I mean. "Missing Romex conductor," though, typically gets the problem taken care of.

Did you mean "missing Romex connector"?

When prescribing strain relief, electricians will often assume you are calling for a Hubbell/Kellems connector or other cord connector with the rubber gland inside.

We call the NM clamps "wire clamp connectors" and all parties know what's needed.

Based on the main conductors coming into the bottom of the panel I would guess that the panel was upgraded at one time.

Don't get me started on the lack of quality workmanship. Keep a fire extinguisher close by.

Wow.. whomever did that electrical work needs to be put away. Definitely non-professional work needing attention by a professional.

FYI...I typically call them wire bushings or clamps. A qualified electrician will know what you mean when you call the lack of them out.
