There are several questions that come to my mind when looking at the interior panel.
As some have already pointed out the need for two wire receptacles or GFCI protection for the circuits that do not have an equipment grounding conductor.
There are a couple of existing 3-wire receptacles I need to investigate since there are no ground wires in any of the 120V circuits, and I will deal with those as necessary.
Someone said something about the nipple connecting the meter pan to the panel. If this is a metal raceway it will need to be bonded on one end or the other but that could have been done in the meter pan as well as the grounding electrode conductor which can be seen coming out the bottom of the meter pan. See 250.92 for more information
That is definitely a metal raceway and I did not look closely to see where the grounding electrode conductor got fastened, but I do know there is nothing more than a metal nut and plastic bushing on either end of that piece of threaded pipe.
The neutral coning from the meter to the panel is not identified with white marking or tag.
I will attend to that.
Can’t see but I think that on the left side of the neutral bar there is a green bonding screw that bonds the neutral to the panel enclosure. If not then the bonding needs to be done in some manner.
The silver screw in the center of the neutral bar just above the main breaker is one I added at that appropriate place (as far as I know) to bond the panel. But if the head of that screw needs to be green, I can make it so.
This must be a temporary CO as a permanent CO can be issued only after all circuits are installed and terminated. You need to check on this as it can and will cause some insurance issues should you ever need them.
I am assuming it is a permanent one, but I have no idea what the electrician might have noted when he got the permit. I do understand the insurance issues, and I might begin dealing with that by first talking with the insurance company.
It is permissible to feed the work shop from the load side of the meter but the panel in the work shop must be installed as service equipment with the proper bonding and earth grounding required for service equipment. It is service conductors supplying the work shop now and not feeders. Feeders will have overcurrent at the point where they originate and these don’t have any overcurrent protection making them service conductors ...
Even though they really should not, those conductors actually do come all the way in through the meter socket to a 30A double-pole breaker in the house panel. So, I still have the same protected circuit going out to the bonded workshop panel with its own ground rod we had discussed in the past. I knew those conductors could have been connected as service conductors, but I did not want them "always hot" in case somebody might some day hit that underground line with a shovel or whatever ... and if the insurance company or anyone else ever questions their going in through the meter socket, they can always be moved down out of there and run through the wall to get back to their present breaker.
The meter pan will stand off the finish wall ¼ inch so the two-hole strap is alright and all that is needed to secure the riser. The screws do not need to penetrate the brick.
There is where the code might be quite insufficient, in my own opinion, or at least in this case. My new riser stands at least 2' above my roof line and is holding the pressure of at least 80' of service wire stretched from the pole at the street. This roof is decked with solid 1" x 6" material, so I have no concern there. However, there is little more than the soffit's 1/4" plywood presently holding that riser from pulling sideways on the hub of a loose-on-the-wall meter socket that is actually being held in place by nothing more than the conduit going in through the wall. So, I have purchased some flat stock to use in fabricating a heavy strap to help the soffit hold the riser's lateral load ... and at that point, I will not care how many squirrels get to bouncing the incoming line!
Be sure to plug the holes left from the removed raceways so bats do not decide to make you attic their home.
Ah yes!
Based on your original post in this thread I can determine that the inspector only looked at the service change and that is all that will be documented. Any and all other work that is being done will not. You really need this work documented as passing an inspection or the insurance company can cause a lot of stress should they ever be needed.
Understood.
============
Here is what I have done to address the matter of the missing ground wire. I could not add a washer to the inside clamp and still get it to thread into the plywood backer panel, but I still figured this was at least better than just having that wire go out through a 1" hole in the panel ...
Note: The panel *is* flush with the wall, but my picture angle gives the illusion it is not.
