Not where I really want to be
For a Level 2 renovation of a condo in a type II building they moved some walls and now the main panel requires a junction box that transitions from EMT that was using the EMT as the equipment grounding conductor EGC. In order to extend it they P-Tapped the 3 conductors and added a bonding bushing to the EMT entering the PVC JB in order to provide the continuance of the EGC to the new/moved main panel. Again, this is a feeder to a main panel, not service conductors. Thoughts other than an access panel in the middle of the ceiling?

J-box, not the panel...

Right. Ok, looking at the original picture, no screws visible, I’m guessing the jbox is held tight to the ceiling by the nut on the embedded conduit. So the horizontal conduit is supported by the shims on the ceiling framing. Very professional.
