Electrical Panel Cover Missing

December 16th, 2008

This guy threw the original panel cover away and put up a decorative one on a basement finish. I would not pass his inspection. He ended up having to replace the whole panel due to not being able to find one. The house was from the late 1980’s

This meter base can cause a problem when removing the meter. It will break the seal and cause a water penetration. The Power Company looked at it and said it’s OK.

The question I have is can the SE cable go behind the brick. Normally the cable is not allowed to be in the structure before it reaches the meter.

Cabinet removed.
They removed it for me, but I’m sure they will put it up after I am gone. I should have made them destroy it.

Is this allowed. NEC 2005 300.8 is the closest code I can find that mentions gas lines with cables.
