undersized conduit for the #2 THWN?

Undersized conductors for a 200A service! Minimum 3/0 THWN required for this size service.

Guys, to heck with the riser!

How about the rat's nest of unsecured romex in that chase, the metal flex with romex in it that doesn't even connect to the panel....

I'd hate to see what's "under the hood" on this one!

Wonder what medication the AHJ was on too....

That sticker looks to be several years old. The bad wiring probably happened after that inspection was done.

I think the sticker is left over from the house it was previously installed in, somewhere else.

...and for that area?
See:Table 310.15(B)(6) (2002)


That is quite a mess!

What a quality installation!! It looks like somebody beat this thing into the wall with a sledgehammer.

A couple of questions, Randy: What's up with the black romex'es (tied in a knot)? and, what was the nature of your service call there (at this house...?)?

This thing is quite literally a "Pandora's Box".

We can't suport a drop around here with 1 1/4 RMC even if it is a 100 A service.

They want 3" RMC for 200 amp if the mast is supporting the drop.

Is this CA where the mast is on the inside wall? We allways go on the outside with the mast.

Just a little comment Randy.
I like the idea of that rain water deflector on the mast.
