Thanks a lot for confirming. That was my understanding per code all wires need to be contained. Got this Is this a 4/3 Romex? or am I missing something? 4/3 Romex

I had a sparky looking at the panel/subpanel he said that the existing feed wires are 4awg and I can replace the quad breaker with double pole 60 amps to feed the subpanel and double pole 30 for the topstove. He also mentioned adding an extra single 4awg wire for the neutral. Does that sound...

Voilà I don't see any major burn or significant discoloration looks normal to m.

That's one of them for sure. Do you happen to know if that's a breaker or bus issue?

I am back with more questions I feel this is the best place to ask so forgive me if I am mixing things out. While I was looking at the inspection report I noticed some overheating breakers or wires. Is anyone able to tell which ones from looking at the pictures? What are the complications of...

You are absolutely right I don't have that much experience neither the tools. I am looking for a simple way yet safe to get this done. Definitely not willing to mess with bricks and concrete, LB etc. @ rhodessam1990 I appreciate your input I would surely consider your advice if I was having this...

Another question maybe not related to the subpanel but where's the link between the neutral and ground bars in the mp? Also I don't see a bonding jumper (green screw). Am I missing something or because this panel is so old it has a different mechanism?

What breaker size do you recommend upgrading to since I am going to be changing the wires anyways?

Thank you all for all the pro tips. I have included a picture of the main panel for all of you to review if I am on the right track. I'm not sure why previous owner was using only 40 amps even though wires can support up to 50 amps.

Got it thank you so much. I will probably reach out as I am doing it never know what am I going to run into. Hopefully it will be a smooth implementation.

Thank you so much very helpful information. Subpanel is attached to the same wall outside not too far behind main panel (150 amp) inside the garage. I included a picture. However subpanel is serving the shed and pool equipment plus ac compressor. I want to use square d but not sure with...

Thanks for your valuable advice. I forgot to mention that my main panel is Challenger. Anything different Nema 3R I should watch out for?

Hi all, Has anyone come across this subpanel? I need to order a grounding bar so I can run the missing neutral wire from the main panel to where the ground wire is connected currently and then move all EGC to the new ground bar.
