I believe that by drilling or modifying the panel, this probably is a code violation. It's up to the inspector now, if it even gets inspected. I personally would of used sticky backs that will probably only stay attached for maybe a year or so, or just used nothing at all to hold the wires. The tie wraps are only there to make it look nice.
Either bundle them together using zip ties or they make something called a sticky back that you stick to the side of the panel and zip tie the wires to. Although sticky backs usually don't stay stuck very long unless you clean the spot with an alcohol wipe first
I'm referencing the 2020 NEC code book 110.27(A) Live parts guarded against accidental contact 110.12(A) unused openings The second states unused openings, other than those intended for the operation of equipment, those intended for mounting purposes, or those permitted as part of the design for listed equipment, shall be closed to afford protection substantially equivalent to the wall of the equipment
@@blakewyatt33 i was actually only sayin the original clip poster doesnt give ANY explanation for the general public watching it🤪.... But, since the holes are being used for attatching wires and to prevent incidental contact, which this would actually provide quite well there really isnt a hazard issue.

@LESLASLESLAS read both sections of code. Having holes for zip ties doesn't fully protect live parts against accidental contact because there's space around the zip tie and the second code I listed if you read the entire thing tells you why it's a code violation
@@blakewyatt33I agree it’s a bad install but you’re reaching far on that code reference because that , at best, 1/4-20 hole doesn’t meet that standard.

You can only drill holes in the bottom if you need to make any modifications I believe
At least he didn’t use metal zip ties
That's still pretty neat work there.
It's fine. The panels are littered with holes already. What exactly do you think is gonna happen? Nothing for 100 years.
Im a plumber and even I wouldn't have done that
thats some expensive zip ties
What would be the proper way to secure the wires

They have a word for that it's called a butcher 😂
Looks like the ran out of sticky backs 🤷♂️
It will be fine
Another Video with no explanation of the problem or code violation???🤔

Man, that’s a stretch.

@@Esnara2085 No more hazard than holes 3R panels often have to let water drain, and wasps in
This is why God did not intend for man to harness his lightning. One day ue will no longer show his lightning and then where will you be???
Ummm ???? Okay I guess
Electricity mostly comes from magnetic fields , and guess what , earth has a Gigantic electric field
@@mikezuck Yes but if God wanted us to have magnets he would not have buried them so far into the ground. Metal detectors are unnatural
