Re: Opening in service panel enclosure
From the 2005 NEC.
- 110.12 Mechanical Execution of Work.
- - Electrical equipment shall be installed in a neat and workmanlike manner.
- - - FPN: Accepted industry practices are described in ANSI/NECA 1-2000. Standard Practices for Good Workmanship in Electrical Contracting, and other ANSI-approved installation standards.
But that is a pretty much un-enforceable section ... the teeth of it is in a FPN - and FPN are un-enforceable. Whoopeedoo!
This section is better, however, while it is not directly applicable to your question, it is most likely directly applicable to 'the cause' for that condition in the photo.
- 312.5 Cabinets, Cutout Boxes, and Meter Socket Enclosures.
- - (C) Cables. Where cable is used, each cable shall be secured to the cabinet, cutout box, or meter socket enclosure.
Nothing directly about that neutral being there, but, if a cable clamp had been installed, that likely would not have happened.
