This photo was taken on the side of a govt health care facility here. See any problems?

Chris I see a few and realize it is old. 250.24(5), 110.12(A), 314.15, 210.8(B)(4), 406.8, 210.63 last sentence if this was an A/C disconnect at one time. Also, I cannot tell what ampere rating that cartridge fuse is.

250.24(5) - Agree

110.12(A) - Agree but add (B) as well

314.15 - Not sure I agree

210.8(B)(4) - Agree

406.8 - Agree

210.63 - Agree

I would like to be able to apply 250.92(B), the note at the end of #4 but this is not a service and the voltage is under 250 phase to ground for 250.97 to apply.

Now what is that round item between the B & C phase and why is the fuse pulled out at the bottom?

Just love how they are using the ground as a neutral in a box that does not have a neutral!

Jeff the 314.15 I cited is on the handy box below. See the last sentence of that section number. The handy box is listed as dry location only.

Holy crap you are right. I was not even looking at the handy box. I was looking at the disco enclosure only & could not figure out what you were seeing that I was not. Thank you.

Jeff now you have me looking at that round thingy as well between B&C

Re: Govt Facility Dangers

Is the round thing a mounting screw? There is also one above A & B.

Re: Govt Facility Dangers

Yes it is the recessed screw or rivet housing for the fuse block.
