John,

The pics you posted would still be a violation of 400.7 and 400.8
Why use flexible cord at all?

Just as easily, you could use an approved wiring method.

You are referring to the use of flexible cords as a substitute for a permanent wiring method.

When I looked at the OP's 'electrical board,' my first thought was the "fair" I was at last weekend. I speculated that this was the point where multiple temporary booths got their power.

Then I opened my mail and saw an ad from a Christmas-lighting outfit. Looking at all those shrubs, I wondered if the board was set up for Christmas lighting.

In either case, I was assuming that the use of extension cords was legitimate. I was asking: how would you arrange this to supply 30 extension cords at once?

Hey guys,

Do you think this is even in the United States? I just have a sneaking suspicion that this picture was taken "south of the border..." It is certainly an interesting way to meter things, using 3 meters like that.

Makes me wonder what size fuses are in the disco...

Put me down for $20 on 60A's

Does anyone recognize the make of the disconnect? That also leads me to think this is some foreign jobbie

The cover looks like a Siemens but not really sure,they do have "SIEMENS" embossed on the cover on domestic models, my guess is it is from Mexico, though.

Is it just me, or are two of those sockets on the right hanging out of their boxes?

Good point!
That whole bunch on the right doesn't look too solid, more like "1 screw missing and the other loose".

Talking of screws missing, why is Alfed E. Neuman now wearing a tinfoil hat?

Alan,

Alfred E. began to "worry" about EMF.

LOL!!!
