that animal doesnt exist. a short pigtail with loose conductors? not code compliant and not something i would want even if i didnt care about codes

agreed. tried and true!

how about just posting the youtube link? it works better

your link in #7 goes to a google search not a video.

yes. the ground connection is a plate of metal on the plug and a plate of metal inside the inlet. cant see it in these pics but if you google the inlet and plug im sure pics of the ground connection will be shown its an odd design compared to typical nema plug setups

does that new cord have a ground connection point on the plug?

This is incorrect. neutral should only be bonded in one place which is at the first means of disconnect or main service panel. you SHOULD NOT have a bonded neutral on a generator that is connected to an electrical service with a bonded neutral unless the neutral is switched, which only occurs...

damn what a mess

MC or FMC would be better. either way shouldnt have loose conductors like that.

I have had to remove fan boxes on home warranty repairs because we couldnt get the guts for the fan anymore. i pulled the screws or nails and cut the drywall just enough, making sure the edges were not too wide for the replacement grille to cover worked out fine...

not sure id call that a repair. its more so finishing a job that someone else started.

This would be incorrect. the first disco on a service would be the main. the neutral bond should be done there. what youre calling the subpanel shouldve always had an isolated neutral nope. the "old main" shouldve been a subpanel regardless of adding branch cicuits in the disco. The...
