Fuses in the main would tend to indicate an ungrounded system as they are not permitted here in a corner grounded system. We probably all know what an assumption like that can lead to.

I agree with others on double checking what the POCO is supplying. I would call the POCO and ask them to verify that their XFMR is not corner grounded. If it is then you have some more work to do.

Scott, that room you posted pictures of reminds me of one of ours that I was in some time back. I thought they might be the same, but yours is actually messier (I hand't thought it possible).

I'm emailing you 2 or 3 pics of our room - many of the same hazards but slightly less clutter. No 1993 newspaper, or beer cans. This is out in the SF Valley.

Well, it's somewhat better.

The ground is on the utility side of the service equipment.

Some derelictrician had gone back and reenergized the abandoned service.....by connecting it up in the CT cabinet (seen in pic1). Meter? What meter?. This reenergized all the abandoned wiring, too.

The Bad part? I only had 2 days approved to fix it, and this place would take much more time to really repair.

The Good part? The building is scheduled for DEMOLITION.

Definate improvement !
From the readings I was sure you had a corner grounded regardless of the fuses in the grounded leg.
Glad you got it straightened out, so they could demolish it.

Woo hoo! I was right for once!
