8/14/2023 0 Comments 60 amp sub panel![]() However, in the code there is no "sub panel", "subpanel", or "sub-fed panel", just "panelboard". The term "subpanel" originated from a panel sub-fed from a breaker in another panel, i.e., a 'sub-fed panel'. The correct term is "panelboard", or, when shortened, "panel". ![]() I've only started using the term "remote" panel as Fred suggested it to wean others off the "subpanel" term. This is a serious question because I like to use correct terminology. Is this something that you prefer to call it, remote panel (me sub-panel) or is there definite lanquage in the code? I and many others, electricians included have always called a panel that is fed from the main panel a sub-panel. Not to hijack this thread but Jerry.I know you are a stickler on Sub-panel vs REMOTE panel. Nonetheless, though, there is enough there with that multiple tapped now-service-entrance-conductor going to a now-service-equipment-located-elsewhere that the electrician will have to sort it all out. I'm guessing one of those SEC cables went to the range and one to the clothes dryer, which was allowed "back then", but is no longer allowed. See the SEC over to the right just above the right side of the main breaker? That is what this should look like too. Īlso, while you are looking at THIS service equipment panel, the top right SEC cable is not in a proper cable clamp - it looks like it 'might be' (or 'might not be'), except that the cable clamp has pulled the concentric knock outs up out of place. THAT creates all kinds of additional problems: at that REMOTE service equipment at this service equipment by both service disconnects not be grouped and on and on. ![]() With the above scenario set, the multiple tapped second set of conductor going to the REMOTE 60 amp ARE NOT EVEN PROTECTED BY 100 amp breaker, they are tapped off the service entrance conductors and themselves become service entrance conductors to the REMOTE SERVICE EQUIPMENT (that is what that REMOTE panel now is). Presuming that the 100 amp breaker shown is the main disconnect at the service equipment (which it has to be or other things are also wrong), then the conductors feeding that breaker will be coming from the meter - unprotected - no overcurrent protection.
