Great work Bob!,
Can't see anything wrong here. {Damn! }
I'd be proud of this level of workmanship, were these panels mine.

Very, very nice. I love seeing work done by true craftsmen who obviously take pride in their job and their trade, your work gives me something to try and live up to.

well if you really want some criticism you could have decorated the inside of the panels with fresh-cut roses {seriously, I wish that more people could apreciate the asthetics and workmanship in a job like this, my friends all find it odd when I stop to look at a "pretty" conduit run/piece of electrical equiptment}

Really a great job, hope nobody comes along in a few years and starts fiddling with it

Thanks again folks.


I hear you Pierre, I agree I am not a big fan of tie wrapped panels either. If I go back to that panel I will cut them off as at that point the conductors will have taken on the shape I wanted.

As you know stranded THHN can be tough to 'train' without tie wraps.

There is a violation in the bottom panel no one has picked up on.

Bob

Are those EMT connectors throated?

I am assuming, not seeing any plastic bushings...

Nice job......


Dnk...

The feeders have either bonding or plastic bushings, the branch circuits do not have any.

My comment was made in jest, hence the smiley afterwards.

Bob
You taped the grounding conductor green in the bottom panel, is that the violation you are talking about?? 250.119??

Your right the 8 AWG taped green is a violation but there is another violation as well.

I will give some more info.

All branch circuits have 20 amp breakers, 12 AWG THHN/THWN and all 120 volt circuits are two wire (per customers request).

Bob

Bob,
Re: the third pic... Does it have something to do with the reducing washer in the top left or the # of conductors in the conduit (vs. derating) on the right?

Those are the only 2 things that stick out to me

Otherwise pretty snazzy work Good Job!

Randy

We have a winner!!!

Randy it is the derating.

The customer is the AHJ here and the circuits each feed a 5 amp freezer so there will be no heating, still an NEC violation.

The reducing washers are legal although a major annoyance to me. The helper grabbed the 1.25" pipe size hole saw instead of the 1' pipe size hole saw.

WTF???
What kind of monitor do you people have? I still can't see that reducer...
