Electrical 1. Location Materials: Located in the Garage

2. Electrical 125 AMP service, 1/0 Aluminum service entrance wires. Observations: • Panel cover screw(s) missing. • Double tapped breaker(s) inside panel box (more than one electrical conductor attached). This is not standard practice, and may cause overheating or even an electrical fire. Recommend evaluation by an electrician. Double tapping and lugging can create hot spots on breakers and neutral bars because they are not tightened to the correct torque--especially if two different size conductors are used. Because the hot [black] and neutral [white]wires are both current carrying conductors, the chance is then greater for potential hot spots. If the double tap or lug becomes loose, it begins to arc. As it arcs it builds up carbon. Carbon is then resistance and with more carbon buildup the more difficult it is for the conductor to make contact, thus increasing the current. The end result can be the breaker tripping because of the loose connection [current exceeding the rating of the breaker], or signs of overheating such as discolored wires, melted wires, etc, or even fire.

3. Grounding Electrical service is grounded and bonded.

4. Wiring Type Breaker system present. Wiring sizes conform to breaker sizes overall. Smaller branch circuit wiring is copper.
