If it fits, it ships I guess

What does the rest of the box look like if that's the ground bar!?

It's not correct but if it's tight I wouldn't worry about it a bit...

Ha! Hell - they could have fit one more there in the slot of the screw. Just gently tap it in.

Its not correct but dont worry about it? If its not correct then it should be fixed.

What happened to caring about quality even when one stumbles on someone else's hack job? If the customer is willing to pay to fix it, then you just made some more money.

Cant say I haven't seen this a time or two when doing panel/service change outs. Defiantly not right, unless Im looking at it wrong, that's the neutral buss. Looks like someone should have added ground bar or two.

Every other panel I look inside of looks like that,job security I guess.

If it's a main panel with no disconnects upstream then the neutral bar is bonded to ground and all of the neutrals and grounds can go on the same bar.

But not all under one lug.

I understand that, for one there is no neutrals on it, at least in the photo. And usually the large lug on the top is for the neutral conductor. And I know, there is probably another large lug on the bottom of it or another neutral buss on the other side of the panel. Not to mention the 15 or so grounds under one lug.

A photo of the whole panel would tell more of the story.

 

[exranger06]

Correct. I never said putting them all on one lug was ok, I was just saying that grounds on the neutral bar is fine in a main panel.

Probably needs a big glob of solder to complete the installation

The pièce de résistance

 

[JordanOH]

That is the main panel in a house. That’s the only neutral/ground bar, many were double lulugged. Many of the CH breakers were also double lugged.

Was back to the job site a few days ago.

At least they didn't twist the grounds for several feet.

Like the low voltage wire run under the cover.....

I swear I could be an electrical inspector. Not because I'm qualified or good at it. I'd just post the photo and let you guys tear it apart...

Is the only solution to "not enough small lugs" a new electrical box? Or can you typically find a longer bar / add a 2nd bar?

If you're working in India, that's a nice neat installation.

Add ground bars as needed. Added bars are for grounds only, not neutrals.

 

[southjerseyTSI]

As an electrician those photos give me extreme anxiety.

Let me take a couple of pictures, and I'll tell you tomorrow if you pass or not!
