Country Wiring

[packsaddle]

This masterpiece was discovered during an investigation of a commercial structure built without permits or inspections.

This is exactly how I found it.

All I did was open the panel door a little wider to expose the "diversity" of wiring methods for the viewer (which, later, included the local Judge).

Re: Country Wiring

I beleive that this here is the old three wire system. The equipment geounding bar is tied to the grounded conductor across the top. The grounded conductor has the grounding and the grounded conductors going back to the meter.

My favorite part is in the top left hand corner. The yellow sheathed romex with the 'dent' in the sheathing where it gets pinched between the box and the door!

FM - Don't be such a fuddy-duddy! Just have them pop an extension or two on that box and they'll be good to go! Of course, you'll probably be back with your buddies in short order... You know, the ones with the fat, long hoses?
