“Let me describe the installation. This is a manufactured home
From the back of the disconnect a #2 SER was run under the manufactured home to the 1.5" stub from the panel and they used a 1.5" female PVC adapter and screwed in a 1.5" SER connector into it.
They used a PVC 2 hole strap to support it to the frame.”
Using the quote, given above, of the poster (gserve) then this now becomes an issue of 550. In 550.15 (H) we are told that this is a very big NO NO
“550.15 (H) Under-Chassis Wiring (Exposed to Weather). Where outdoor or under-chassis line-voltage (120 volts, nominal, or higher) wiring is exposed to moisture or physical damage, it shall be protected by rigid metal conduit or intermediate metal conduit. The conductors shall be suitable for wet locations.”
Not only does this violate 550.15 (H) but a good look at 550.33 will shed more light on this matter
“550.33 (A) Feeder Conductors. Feeder conductors shall consist of either a listed cord, factory installed in accordance with 550.10(B), or a permanently installed feeder consisting of four insulated, color-coded conductors that shall be identified by the factory or field marking of the conductors in compliance with 310.12. Equipment grounding conductors shall not be identified by stripping the insulation.”
