What happens here

Visually inspect the circuit breakers inside the subpanel. Specifically look for instances where two or more wires are connected to a single circuit breaker terminal. The video highlights a clear example of '2 Wires going in 1 Single Pole Breaker (No good) (Fire Hazard).' This practice, known as 'double-tapping,' is typically a code violation and can lead to overheating, loose connections, and potential fire hazards. Note any such occurrences.

Goal: Identify any circuit breakers with more than one wire connected to a single terminal.

Tools and materials

  • Circuit Breakers — The components where double-tapping might occur
  • Electrical Subpanel — The component being inspected
  • Flashlight — Providing better visibility inside the panel
