This apply for meter main combos too the bottom side is the panel and applies to nec 314.8 correct. So the bottom is your switch cabinet and can be spliced and top is meter only used to be a raceway
Wish I could reply with a picture because I could definitely violate the 40% code. The code was designed for enclosures that have panelboards for control circuits. I had a group of electricians that left probably 2 miles of wire in an enclosure. If it were smaller they would’ve violated the code.
That BRYANT panel 2:31 in your video LOOK AT THE BOTTOM ALUMINUM FEED CABLE ITS BURNED AND ARCING YOU CAN SEE THE INSULATION IS MELTING OFF. THIS PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ASAP BEFORE THIS PLACE BURNS DOWN.GOD I HATE ALUMINUM!!! I only use copper & copper bussed panels
Kind of looks that way, but it could also have been stripped back too far. (NOOX can give the impression it's been burning.) AL is acceptable, but it does take more care. (I've seen AL used in power distribution for decades -- it's cheaper, and much less valuable to meth heads)
3:57 312.8(A) says at ANY cross section. look at those wires. you did the math wrong. you assumed that you were only taking cross sections perpendicular to the wires. you can also take cross sections PARALLEL to the wires, which will drastically increase the area of the conductors in the calculations. if you can't see 40% of the metal enclosure behind the wires it's probable you are in violation here.

😆 "RIGHT SIDE OF THE DIRT". Classic!
Thank you for all you do to keep us smiling.
Thanks Ryan! Your video's are always insightfull!
I did ask you that question boss and it was so helpful. Thanks for your videos 👏

Awesome video I like the information on the feed through
👍🏻 Your videos are a tremendous aid to us oldtime sparky curmudgeons. Thank you!
Great info... Thanks Ryan
How have i never heard of your channel? Subbed
Sir does a disconnect switch installed in a cut-out box?
Subbed. Thank you for your work
270? ... wow
Splices in any panel board are normally frowned upon by most high end electricians.
Until DIY P.V. -- Ouch! 🐔😎
Frown all you want; sometimes the wire isn't long enough. (remodels, etc.)
Is the Wiser unit hard to program??
Question is it ok to have low voltage on still after you pull a disconnect to say Keep a plc on

Im sure my dad would love that idea, lol ...
Thank you for the video Ryan it’s very informative. What about making splices in a disconnect is it allowed?
Does it matter that the ct's are recognized by UL but the listing is by Intertek?
Dose a smoke & CO circuit have to be arc fault?
Yes.
Ryan Jackson thank you
Looks like an Eyre Electric panel lol.

That is not correct. Cross-sectional area for raceways, wireways, and gutters is calculated the same way.
