NC Barndominium Build - Power Pole Inspection

[@MobtacticsBruh]

He didn't require a main breaker? Also, where's your bonding screw since you're using the neutral bus bar as a ground bus bar as well? He didn't make you label the service wires for hot, neutral, ground, etc?

Excellent questions. The pole was constructed using the 2017 NEC at the time. If I recall correctly article 230.71 gives relief from a main disconnect because I was less than 6 circuits. You are correct with the bonding. My ground and neutrals were bonded however the panel box was not. The self tapping green screw was missing. Bonding should be at the point of first disconnect. This was intended to be a sub panel (which should have neutrals and grounds separate) and I neglected to install the screw. Excellent observation! The label for the neutral is the white zip tie.

This power pole is not live, which is why I can stick my hands in the box and walk away. Never stick your hands in a live box or in a box if you cannot verify that the power is off.
