VictualSquid posted:Hamburg actually. I saw it on a rental listing, and the apartment has a very large kitchen on the other side of one of those walls. Fair on. I thought "old-rear end building renovated to include modern requirements for housing units" and just assumed. If the pic had shown a shelf toilet I'd have known better.

I like the little loop-the-loop they send the hots of the appliance cord through before wiring them directly into a breaker.

devicenull posted:You missed the cutoff plug! I'd guess that was someone's "solution" to use a generator. I'm thinking they cut the end off to hardwire their dryer (or whatever) directly into the panel instead of installing an outlet. If that was for a generator they'd probably have that plug wired up with a twistlock on the other end so they can backfeed through the dryer outlet.

Adding it is just a dryer cord with the end cut off to be hard wired in, is there a code violation there? I am guessing it is going to be an issue with the material the dryer cord is made of, and that solid wire needs to be used with breakers. But what makes that worse than a 5 foot run of solid wire and the poor splice job with wire nuts? I get it’s dumb and bad, but trying to learn why.

Nitrox posted:I wonder what the other end of the cable is attached to. But yeah, probably a generator The other end of that cord is going to be three ring terminals. You'd need to put an end on just to plug it into the generator (or hardwire it  ). The only reason you'd use that cord for a generator and cut the end off is if it was the only source of wire available. Any port in a storm though, I guess.

I am guessing it is going to be an issue with the material the dryer cord is made of, and that solid wire needs to be used with breakers. But what makes that worse than a 5 foot run of solid wire and the poor splice job with wire nuts? The main problem is that you can't modify a safety listed device and keep the rating. So can't modify the cord. Secondary issue is that wherever strain relief device he's using to enter the box probably isn't listed for appliance cable (because nobody should be doing that) so that's technically a violation as well. In practice, it's probably going to be fine. But it's not good work and it doesn't meet code. Just a note because you mentioned it, stranded wire is acceptable for use with breakers. THHN and similar wire types are directly terminated to breakers all the time. Check the spec sheet on whatever type of breaker to be sure, but generally it's a listed application.

Not to mention it's a MALE PLUG and the only thing preventing those prongs from being live is the breaker is off. That's an easy way to blow yourself up. Is that breaker rated for backfeed? Will they remember to shut off the main with their death trap? Will they remember to shut off the breaker before unplugging it when the power comes back on? It's a housefire lit by someone's electrocuted corpse waiting to happen.

The plug end was cut off and is sitting in the panel not connected at either end. It might as well be in the garbage. Nitrox posted:It could be attached to an appliance such as a generator, dryer or electric car charger. Someone just chose to hardwire instead of wiring an outlet. I did the exact same thing for my electric car charger, Instead of doing the plug and outlet bullshit. It's just I just ran 6 gauge wire straight to the panel from the box. Generators already have an outlet built in though. Even doing it right is significantly less work than disassembling the generator to hardwire it into the house. I agree that they probably wired an appliance directly into the panel, but probably not a generator unless the other end of that cord is three wires jammed directly into the generator outlet.

Holy poo poo, somehow I missed the end of the male plug laying in the panel. I was answering like someone left the female end of an extension cord dangling out, like to plug something in. Yeah that's even worse. Long story short, it's all bad.

Shifty Pony posted:This is what it looks like on the bottom of the box: So it might have been for a generator at some point even though you'd still need a twistlock adapter which defeats the point of using the wrong cable. At least someone at some point saw whatever was going on, went "aww hell no" and cut the cable off.

Previous owner had a dryer self-installed there, agent told him to remove it if it didn't convey, and the owner removed it in exactly the sort of manner that you'd expect someone who installed it that way would do it.
