Just punching a hole in an enclosure to accommodate a fitting or conduit violates the listing of the enclosure. If you ask the manufacturer about that they will say oh yes, that's a violation ... but they will also say that as long as the 3R condition has been maintained they would not make an issue of it. This cabinet is inside so 3R does not apply. What does apply is containing molten metal from arcing or possible fire as well as bonding the sheet metal. No manufacturer would say okay to this panel ... only an inspector can do that.The enclosure is listed by U.L. If it is modified in any way, the listing is void.
Five... four... three...... only an inspector can do that.
Here ya go Rebecca.... this is good advice.Is that a metal cover? It almost looks a fiber material like floor tile. I would have an issue with this because it has been modified so much, and I would certainly expect the owner to remove the covers to see what is going on behind these panels. A replacement cover should be available somewhere, but why was it chopped up would be my first concern. Panel replacement could be in order, but check all options, safety first.
