How about turning the panel over to avoid extra feeder wire cluttering the panel?
Got there before me, but it’s all good – just more input in the discussion.
Are you seriously making that comment about the completed work we’re looking at? Only online.
I notice that people often assume that the mains should be on top, but that’s not the case anymore. Now they are positioned sideways, and even in older panels you can remove the main and flip it over. I aim to use less wire fill and minimize wasted wire.
Wire can be pricey too. It all starts to accumulate.
I hope it’s connected properly
Why did do that?
If you’re asking, then you might not know.
Nope, I do… tell me why it has to be that way, and the assumption you made for that statement.
Typically, overcurrent protection is located just beyond the exterior power lines. This really challenges that idea… if it’s a load center, why include a main breaker?
This is an installation in the US.
Sure thing, but it’s SER so the assumption is that it’s a sub panel… even if one of the two 200-amp panels is fed from a 380/400-amp can, it might not need to be fused until the main breaker. I considered all of these factors, but I’m just trying to understand better, that’s why I asked.
If there is a surge in power lines, the main breaker or fuses at the entrance of the building would prevent any potential damage. That’s the difference between American and Canadian codes, I think.
Exactly… assuming that what you’re seeing is within your area of jurisdiction. My experience with wiring in Canada was mainly with Tek and SOOEW cables. Never tried residential work while visiting. ood memories
As you mentioned, some areas require fusing before entry… others have rules on how far unfused cables can go or how they should be protected. It’s all about following the regulations
If it’s a subpanel, there needs to be a main disconnect outside. Can’t just run the cable from the meter through the house. Better to be safe than sorry, even if it’s just a short distance away. Maybe use reenfield or conduit for protection. My eyes aren’t doing well today, but it looks like a subpanel
Appreciate it, I mentioned it seemed like a subpanel…
I believe that getting into Crypto trading is a solid move. The more you delve into it, the more it starts to make sense. Why not start with crypto to familiarize yourself and have the opportunity to grow and succeed in it. ood luck to everyone and don’t forget to reach out to Mr. Mambafx Alvarenga
Can you please make sure to point out the white AC wire as the current carrying conductor? reat work otherwise! 👍🏻
It’s on a 2 pole breaker, not a neutral
Looks fine. I prefer flipping those panels to reduce the large amount of wire inside.
Excellent
I’m pretty sure that cable is not 1.25″ away from the stud faces on both sides.
That’s the purpose of nail plates.
Are you planning to use nail plates for the entire stud? It might complicate the drywalling process.
The only thing that provides some assistance is that the previous stud is a genuine 2 by 4
Even if you have a solid 2×4, anything larger than 1-1/2″ in diameter won’t meet the requirements.
Why can’t you just flip it, if you don’t mind me asking?
You’re able to
Just need to make sure the panel is suitable to flip the other way around. Learned that the hard way
I accidentally installed a Siemens panel upside down. The instructions didn’t specify. The breaker numbers are sideways, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem. 🤷🏻♂️
Financially, I was struggling until I met my landlord. Starting with a small amount changed my life for the better. I highly recommend Mrs. Laura Andreas to you.
Seeing zip ties with romex is a disappointment. It’s not impressive.
Can you please flip that panel feed? It looks terrible. And also fix the bend going into the panel, it doesn’t look good.
Turn the panel upside down
Why is there a main breaker with that donkey coming from a meter base combo? I noticed you separated the grounds and neutrals. What’s the reason for that?
…also, what’s the deal with all those bends on top of your panel? It should be straight and supported at least 12″ away from the can, just like that 4 ot
I would never approach a panel at that angle, ooo…ooo.
What’s the reason for using zip ties on solid wire?
I don’t notice a bonding screw in here.
Looks good. Allowing the next person to have extra wire is a nice touch. Some people will always find faults in things.
I’ve had a great financial boost thanks to my investment with Mrs. Damaris. Now I’m earning well from the comfort of my home. Her trading strategies are top-notch and her platform is completely legitimate, reliable, and guaranteed. I highly recommend her 👇👇👇👇👇 Damaris Ava
I think it looks good, but personally I would have run the ser up in the next bay, drilled across, and u-turned down into the panel.
Or did you just flip the panel?
Should we flip the panel or turn it upside down?
‘t worry about the critics. The panel is impressive. I wish all panels I worked on were this neat. Just saying!!!
That’s hilarious, a Bottom Feeder 🤣
Just my opinion, but I noticed some 2×4’s turned up under the panel. This will help protect your feeder from sheetrock screws and any future damage.
I’m constantly flipping the panel and it looks so much better and cleaner.
JUST AND ONLY the new text:

Why deal with all the criticism? Every time someone posts a photo, the same thing happens. You’re welcome to do my electrical work anytime. 😊
Simply awful. I managed to get some wires in place, but messed up the rest…

The appearance is good. Any reason for no afci/gfci?
Where does that lamp cord lead to?
Sure thing! Just label the tape numbers and make a directory on the printed card stock, then stick it on the panel cover like a pro. Enjoy!
