    Sub panel questions-New thread as to not hijack existing thread

    depends on panel brand. but there isnt any brand that would allow that many grounds under 1 lug. how can you possibly torque it properly to spec? we cant tell you that. it depends on the panel brand. you need to look at the label on the panel. code tells you to follow the listing of the...

    Sub panel questions-New thread as to not hijack existing thread

    you cant get shocked by a meter main with a lost neutral. on a sub with a bonded neutral that is lost, a person touching the panel or stove or anything else that has a bonded neutral in it and say a faucet water line etc has created an alternate pathway for that neutral current to flow back to...

    Sub panel questions-New thread as to not hijack existing thread

    who runs THHN in a house unless they are in shitcago? the added expense of conduit isnt worth it. also if thats all THHN then conduit fill has most likely been violated.... the issue isnt running it thru conduit, the issue is with it not being clamped to the panel.

    All the NM is coming thru a single conduit adapter on the bottom and right side. it should be coming thru listed NM clamps. it needs to be secured to the panel not just ran loose into the panel thru a hole and incorrect fitting an EGC that shouldve been taped green and ran to a ground bar...

    Sub panel questions-New thread as to not hijack existing thread

    if you lose the neutral connection between the main and subpanel, you have alternate pathways neutral current can flow on such as metal plumbing, gas lines, phone lines, cable lines etc I have seen it happen. This is why code never allowed bonded neutrals in subs in same structure as main...

    Can someone check my wiring in a sub-panel?

    the code change in 2008 was only for subpanels in DETACHED buildings. It is a subpanel because of the main breaker ahead of it. This is totally incorrect. bonded neutral has NEVER been allowed in a subpanel in the same structure as the main. the code change we are discussing above is for...

    New fast EV chargers and three phase power

    theres no way people are starting 30HP motors. you know what the in-rush current is on those? the voltage sag would be extreme and the main breaker would trip. not to mention dimming of the lights. a 25kVa ****** isnt gonna start a 30HP motor... c'mon now
