Electrical service upgrade.
At my first inspection, there was nobody there to explain this. The outside of the enclosure has this sticker, "UL capacitor bank" with a number I can't make out in the photo. The enclosure has pop rivets so I wasn't able to see inside. I asked for a copy of the UL info., installation instructions and an open enclosure.
At the next inspection, the contractor and owner met me. There was still no inst. instructions or UL info. The contractor claimed it was going to save the owner big money. He said it was all about the A/C condenser and starting the motor. I asked questions and he had no answers. The owner asked me questions and I had answers. I didn't approve it and reiterated that I need the UL info. and installation instructions. At the third inspection, it was gone.
There are two leads from the capacitor that land on a two pole, 20 amp circuit breaker, an equipment ground and that's it.
