Electrical Panel – Cover Open
Photo documentation of the primary residence electrical panel with the deadfront open, showing circuit labeling, inspection approvals, and the available breaker positions prior to running feeds to the new garage.
Photo Notes
- Panel: Eaton / Cutler-Hammer 200A residential load center mounted on plywood backer against basement wall.
- Labels: Left column contains printed legend; right column shows handwritten loads (dryer, water heater, furnace, AC, etc.), useful for future circuit balance review.
- Inspections: Three green stickers indicate final mechanical, plumbing, and general electrical approvals from Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth.
- Condition: Interior is clean, breakers appropriately seated, and unused knockout plugs remain intact at bottom entry.
- Context: White spray-foam coated foundation wall, purple Cat6 data cable and black service entrance conductors visible along right edge.
Why This Matters
- Provides baseline documentation for existing electrical infrastructure before tying in garage sub-feed.
- Confirms panel manufacturer/model and available breaker spaces for future 100A feeder to garage shop.
- Captures proof of prior inspections/approvals which may be requested by inspectors when reviewing new work.
