Name the Electrical Violation Photo

[jar546]

This was discovered after a work without permit was called in by a neighbor. Looking at electrical only, what violation(s) do you see? Cite the NEC code for good measure.

 

[Mr. Inspector]

NEC 362.12 Not permitted for direct earth burial

 

[BN4537]

Is the SE cable in the lower left of the photo rated for burial? 338.12 (E)(2)

 

[e hilton]

We don’t need a permit for this little job, and the neighbors don’t care what we do. Besides, Bubba will be done before anybody notices we even started. What could go wrong?

 

[fatboy]

Fittings on the smurf pipe connections?

356.42? (coming from a non-sparky)

 

[jar546]

Is the SE cable in the lower left of the photo rated for burial? 338.12 (E)(2)

There is no SE cable, just LFNC & ENT connected to the original PVC

 

[BN4537]

Sorry, I thought the grey item coming out of the wall on the bottom right of the photo, entering the hole about 8"-12" up from the closest edge of the hole in the concrete, and proceeding diagonally across the photo until it goes underground was an SE cable.

What is it?

 

[BN4537]

Not the PVC sections that are spliced together with the smurf tube.

Now that is funny stuff right there!!

LFNC

 

[jar546]

So what about the LFNC. Is it allowed to be direct buried or encased in concrete?

 

[mark handler]

I would also wonder if the wires are spliced in the smurf

 

[fatboy]

So what about the LFNC. Is it allowed to be direct buried or encased in concrete?

And I cited 356.42 already.

 

[SCBO1]

356-10 LFNC okay for direct bury if marked approved for direct bury. Is there liquid-tight in that photo?
362.10 ENT okay if placed on sand with approved fittings

Keep them coming Jar.
