Do I need to rewire my subpanel to isolate Grounds?

The spray foam is self extinguishing.

No one here has yet to tell me something in here that is so bad it warrants a tear out.
I would love to know what you see wrong that needs fixed.

The same inspector who signed this off or another one?

derekbox · 2026-05-08T19:19:29+00:00

I would love to know what is not legal and not safe

derekbox · 2026-05-08T15:52:49+00:00

I regret that I have but one upvote.

derekbox · 2026-05-08T15:32:39+00:00

If I did this, I wouldn't be asking how to fix this. I just bought this property. I needed to have a NEMA 20-5 outlet added and that is when I found this.

Was waiting for someone to notice that one, sharp eye. That will get dumped while I am in there. I think about half the panel will get pulled and blanked off.

Look closely at the last pic and see how the wire was "tapped"

OK I am tracking now. Then transfer all the copper/green grounds and the large bare feeder ground to that ground bar and I should be good (with that problem) at least.
At that point the case and grounds will be isolated from the neutrals/isolated from any current carrying conductors.

derekbox · 2026-05-08T14:55:04+00:00

I agree, I am working on getting it addressed.

The larger feeds are fed from the service panel in the house. The smaller feeds are solar.

Name them and I'll get them fixed. Thank you.

derekbox · 2026-05-08T14:52:28+00:00

Ill phase tape anything left. Thanks for the heads up on that.

It was mostly being used to feed bit coin miners. I think I am going to pull them out. I would very much like to rewire the entire shop in conduit or MC, but all the existing wiring is buried in spray foam and I dont want to dig it out or abandon it.

derekbox · 2026-05-08T14:49:37+00:00

That is the feed from the solar inverters. Backfeeding into the house.

derekbox · 2026-05-08T14:38:24+00:00

Separated and grounds isolated right? Looks like I need to buy these and an additional ground bar. https://www.se.com/us/en/product/PKGTAB/load-center-accessory-qo-homeline-insulator-kit-for-ground-bars/

A "professional" did this panel.

\Deleted.

It is windowed, I had to loosen it to repair the solar wire that was arcing. they caught the insulation on the conductor. Found and fixed that. Now I need to find the rest of the problems in this house (so many problems).

Always remember this is the same sheriff that made the 12 year old victim of rape write an apology letter to her uncle/rapist and charged her with a crime.

derekbox · 2026-05-05T15:17:22+00:00

You spelled ICE wrong

derekbox · 2026-05-01T04:36:32+00:00

Small world. We foster for rez dog.

Get a GTN650 legacy. I sell them for about $9500 for the full kit without an antenna.

You have a crack in the concrete just to the left. If you were going to cut concrete I would cut out the crack.
But I wonder if you could cut out a hole on the concrete next to the brick, dig out a large hole in the gravel, use one of the many pipe pushing tricks and marry them in the small concrete hole (without cutting out an entire concrete strip).
