Not where I really want to be
There are more than 1 here too:

Terminal not listed for 2 conductors.

Is the line on the right the a grounding or groundedl?
 
Grounds are dissimilar metals together on a terminal designed for one conductor?

Panel cover missing! He He!

I see it now, dbrown, you are good!

Do you make them put colored tape on the conductor ends?

What code section requires colored tape to be installed on the ends of the conductors of a residential feeder?

Where did anyone state this was a resi feeder?
 
Concuctors not phased, lug rated for 1 conductor, need plastic bushing on load side connector and if it's a metal conduit a bonding bushing would be required.
 
I see the white line on the GC but I was not aware that this was a residential application. It makes sense that it is being a 200amp set-up.

I did'nt state a code requirement for tape, I only asked a question if it's required?

Look, I'm just trying to learn here and I always try to thank someone that helps me.

Missing a bushing on the nipple entering the bottom of the box.

The bottom connector would most likely be a cable clamp and not a conduit connector therefore a bushing is not required.

The requirement for phaseing the conductors by phase and system only applies if the building has more than one nominal voltage system. If this is indeed a residential application then 210.5 © would not apply and the ungrounded conductors are not required to be identified.

I apologize if I came across harsh, I did not intent too. :)

Again the requirement to identify the ungrounded conductors by phase is only required if the building is supplied by more than 1 nominal voltage system.

NEC Definition of Feeder:All circuit conductors between the service equipment, the sorce of a separatetly derived system, or other power supply source and the final branch-circuit overcurrent device. With that definition of Feeder, would not section E3307 apply?
 
Sorry, I also assumed, thought it looked like a nipple for conduit termination. And took to long posting Jim H. beat me to it.

E3407.3 (2009 IRC) states that the insulation on Ungrounded conductors shall be a continious color other than white, gray or green. Both ungrounded conductors are black and meet the requirements of this section. There is nothing in E3407.3 that requires the ungrounded conductors to be identifed by phase.
