John Dirks Jr Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Doubled neutrals yet again. Seems like I see this on 8 out of 10 panels around here. Here's a first for this one though. Look at the neutral wires stripped back way far. Is that an issue in itself as well? Image Insert: 108.21 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it, John. What concern do you have with it being that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirenut1110 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 The amount being stripped is not a big deal, the service cable isn't insulated at all. As far as the grounds and neutrals under the same screw, they had plenty of open spaces to segregate the neutrals. The grounds under one screw is not a big deal as long as they're the same size.

msteger Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I see the multiple neutrals and grounds on single terminals, as well, all of the time. Personally, I do not call this out. If so, I'd be calling out just about every single panel as 'defective'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If "about every single panel" is defective, what good reason is there to keep that information from your client? Having multiple neutrals under a single terminal is not the proper way to wire a panel. When observed, it should be reported. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
