Randy, please listen to JW and the others. YOU ARE GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED with your bull headed stance on this.

raceway? Furd, why would he need to run the feeders in a raceway? Local code amendment? I don't believe the N.E.C. calls for this.

You should stop talking as the hole you are digging is getting deeper and deeper.

Yes, make sure there is a ground wire and protect it with the right size breaker. Install a junction box somewhere accessible and run new 12-2 to where you need your new circuits. Protect with a 2 pole 20 amp breaker.

Rock pretty much said it all. My only apology will be that I didn't get back to the forum faster and Rock beat me to it. Ballvalve, I will say it again, by reading your post you have proven to me(and apparently some others) that you are not an electrician. You may be a great plumber(going by...

Ballvalve, You should not be giving any information on any electrical install as it is apparent that you have no electrical experience as most everything you have stated is incorrect or just down right dangerous. OP If that existing cable is a 4 wire you could split it up and install that...

9 out of 10 times this is a burnt coil not any real problem with the actual contacts or mechanism. Low voltage to the coil for a while will burn em up.

WOW, I don't know how to get it through your head that a recess lighting j-box is not a buried j-box. I think you don't really understand or want to understand. On the reliability issue, There are literally billions and billions of wire nut type connections out there and failure rate of a...

I have yet to see any N.E.C. code that would allow you to bury those J boxes in drywall. I am going to call your bluff and ask for the code reference on this one. I could be wrong, have been before but there is a big difference between under asphalt or earth and under drywall in a home. I would...

if the guy that did the wiring in the pics was really an electrician you should report him to the inspectors in the area. That is some of the worst wiring i have ever seen from an actual electrician. DIY I would understand but a pro, no way.

Why anyone would be against properly bonding a metal piping system is beyond my comprehension. You should resign from any code or policy making boards you might be on.

Just bolt them shut. Totally legal

They have!! It's called a General Contractor.

Yea that could be right, I didn't really think about that as it would be pretty rare in a Sq-D QO series. Good catch though. Either way I would not want anything to do with the insides of that panel, between the QO's crappy neutral bar set-up and the side entry of the wires that baby has got...

As I look at the pro panel, I can count a least 35 circuits going into what looks like a 150 ampere 30 circuit panel.(judging by the se cable). I am pretty sure that isn't a 40 or 42 space panel. Thanks Scott
