Re: This is something!

I'm quite sure that was never inspected. The "maintenance guys" will do some pretty dangerous stuff. At least they reidentified the whites as hots :D but,,,they're nowhere near the minimum of 1/0 for parallel conductors. And quite sure they overloaded the feeders by doing this.
 
Re: This is something!

I with McClary's Electrical, I really doubt this was ever inspected.

Most likely it was just added onto over the years by different "electricians".

Who says they're paralleled? They could be feeding to seperate loads.

BTW, you could always call the guy who installed this. His phone numbers are EL6-1949 and EL6-0274. One is probably his office, the other his cell.
 
Re: This is something!

Sparky - IF those are in fact phone numbers, I seriously doubt one is a cell number, more likely a home number. I think that writing is almost as old as the equipment (except for the bright white/shiny black wires - they look new-ish). That type of phone number hasn't been used (around here anyway...) for quite some time.

Re: This is something!

Most likely the orginal contractor! The el went out of our phone numbers back in the early 70's. I believe Mr. Williams is talking to the worms! His boys may still be around! Just goes to show you what junk takes place after a job is done.

OR that was actually installed that way and nobody knew what we know now!
