Great for training panel

[Rick Vernon]

Here's a panel that could be used as a training aid!

That caution tape is too close. It should be 6 feet back from that thing, for safety. BTW, that guy fails the final exam, no doubt.

Wow :eek:

Amazing piece of work there!

[Donald Farrell]

Obviously, these pictures are pre-fire.

Question, please tell me this was done by a DYI person. I'd be real disgusted if a licensed electrician did this anywhere but on his own panelboard!

[Jack Feldmann]

Nice photos - good for a laugh.

That panel is not a great training aid, but it is a very good example of how not to do things A proper training aid is a panel that was done in a professional & code compliant manner. Just my humble opinion.

Rollie,

I think what he meant was that panel was a great training aid in class where a student is asked to point out what is wrong ... and the student points to the panel and says "Everything" ... that student gets an "A". ;)

I was thinking it would not make a good training panel because there were too many items for a student to wrap their heads around and report - they need to learn one thing at a time ... have them pick apart the 100 car pile up after they have learned enough to absorb what is being presented to them visually.

I think they are going to need the "use extra paper if needed for your answer" option for this test.:rolleyes: OMG, don't think I've ever seen a quadruple tap before!:eek:

Now Rick never said it was going to be a training aid for 'electricians'. More appropriately a 'perfectly wired panel should be used to illustrate the 'right way'; a hell of a lot easier than showing the newbies a multitude of 'wrong ways' to make it FUBAR.
I would think he meant a 'training aid' for ER or the morgue!

[Nick Ostrowski]

HA HA HA!!!! You gotta go out of your way to do stuff that wrong.

[Jerry Peck]

I thought he meant a training aid for home inspectors.

Agreed! :D

Quad tapped I'm impressed !

[Bruce Low]

Never seen quad tapping, eh? How 'bout this quad tapping example?

By the way, lots more wrong with this panel, AND the other 3 main panels (fed from here) and 4 subpanels in the home. My client (an electrical engineer at a power plant) and I (a mechanical engineer) were rolling on the floor laughing after I pulled the cover off.

All the best,

Too much beer drinking on those cold Michigan winter days with nothing to do but play around with electricity to try and stay warm.

Bruce - doesn't qualify for quad tapping, NEC 2020.69 All four conductors must be resonably secured under a single screw down, the paint on insulator does give you an edge, but still significantly diverges from code.http://www.inspectionnews.net/home_inspection/images/icons/icon10.gif
