Ken Meyer Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Is this considered bundling? The issue of bundling cables has been discussed here before, does it apply to individual conductors like this? This is inside the main panel.

randynavarro Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Those don't look like electrical cables. They look like cable / data cables. Maybe I'm not seeing clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Whitmore Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hi Randy, It looks like that's in a panel, the sheathing has been removed, and the electrician wrapped the hots and neutrals together. I'm waiting to see what Jim thinks about the installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Is this considered bundling? The issue of bundling cables has been discussed here before, does it apply to individual conductors like this? This is inside the main panel. If the bundle is shorter than 24" it's not an issue. 310.15(B)(2)(a) blah, blah, blah, where single conductors . . . are stacked or bundled longer than 24" without maintaining spacing and are not installed in raceways, the allowable ampacity or each conducotr shall be reduced as shown in blah, blah, blah." I can't find any prohibition against stacking or bundling single conductors for a distance of 24" or less. - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Meyer Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Thanks. I should have explained it better. These are the conductors connecting to the breakers and neutral bar in the main panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting to see what Jim thinks about the installation. I see it now. I wasn't "seeing" the scale of the wires to the panel in the pic.
