The sloppy workmanship in pic. no. 2, along with the poor job of load balancing (4 - 20 amp breakers to one leg and 1 - 15 amp breaker to the other leg) bothers me, too. Mike (mamills)

I enjoyed seeing the multiple choice selection of circuit breakers.

Even though Austria is MUCH more relaxed on conduit connections than the US (metallic conduit doesn't exist here unless it's a real hard industrial setting, and with PVC there's the general attitude "sticking it into the appropriate size knockout is perfectly enough"), this one looks BAD to me!

Hemingray, thats the old triplex, straight from the poco.. with #6 THWN blue wirenutted and draped on the roof to that riser mess in the 9th pic I remember the grab bag selection of breakers also... gotta love the Bryant 30A 2P with the handle tie pried off almost as good as the 40 year old Westinghouse twins...

Randy, In pic #4, has there been something snapped off of that "pan-unit" (part that holds the breakers). I mean, it looks like them two bits of plastic either side of the Neutral bar had something attached to them at one time.

Although this is an old thread, it's a classic. I can't say I have seen anything so bad. I'll bet that installation it would fly in Tijuana with no problems though. It does look a lot like Mexican electrical work.

So those red handles are Westinghouse breakers? That had me scratching my head trying to figure out how you would get Stab-Loks to fit a Westinghouse bus!

Mike, Those plastic pieces you're speaking of are basically there to aid in wire routing around the neutral bar (AFAIK).
