Inspector's Observations



Conductors exposed

The electrical conductors are protruding through a knockout without any termination or connection. This poses a significant electrical hazard, as it provides a direct path for electricity to escape and cause electrical shocks or fires.

No proper termination

The conductors should be properly terminated using insulated connectors or terminal blocks. This provides a secure and safe connection that prevents conductors from loosening or arcing.

Insufficient clearance

The conductors are not maintained at an adequate clearance from each other and the knockout. This can result in arcing, insulation damage, or short circuits.

Lack of strain relief

The conductors are not secured with strain relief devices to prevent them from being pulled out of the knockout. This can create a loose connection and increase the risk of electrical hazards.

Corrections Required



Install a proper connector

Terminate the conductors using insulated connectors or terminal blocks. Ensure that the connectors are sized appropriately for the wire gauge and voltage rating.

Maintain proper clearance

Ensure there is sufficient clearance between the conductors and any surrounding surfaces to prevent arcing or insulation damage.

Provide strain relief

Use strain relief devices to secure the conductors and prevent them from being pulled out of the knockout. This can be achieved using cable ties, tie wraps, or other approved methods.

Inspect the entire system: Conduct a thorough inspection of the entire electrical system to identify any other potential safety hazards or code violations. Flag for review
