I recently completed a 26kw installation in West Columbia, Texas and stumbled upon this gem. Just wanted to give a shoutout to the electrician for their impressive work. Thumbs up!
I’ve always used a metal locknut for every PVC t/a I’ve installed. It seems like you’re just making things up. Can you please show us what you would use instead?
Those are clip-on AFCI/FCI breakers, and there’s a built-in neutral bus running behind them. It makes the work a lot easier and cleaner without having to worry about pig tails. I really like these. –
It looks good but personally, I would avoid using zip ties. The solid wire stays in place perfectly. If it were stranded, maybe, but even then I think zip ties are unnecessary. They just make it more difficult when you need to service or troubleshoot. Some inspectors might see it as bundling, depending on how many wires and how tightly they are secured.
Thanks a lot!
I really like it 😻
Cool
I don’t think it’s 26kw
Using metal lock rings on PVC is a mistake

What’s up with ?
I’m genuinely curious, why are there only 5 neutral conductors connected to the neutral bar?
