Got to do my first panel from start to finish. It was interesting. Before anyone flames me, my teacher came over and start yanking wires and cutting zip ties when he graded my work and this picture was taken after that happened lol. It was much cleaner. But this is an example of the stuff we get to do and learn with an IBEW apprenticeship. The most important thing no matter how beautiful your dress your panel is make sure all connections are secure and make sure your wiring is connected to the right circuit breaker. There is nothing worse than getting into a panel and having the panel schedule confusing or wires in the wrong place. It makes for a long process for any future electricians getting into a panel for future work.
Good luck to all apprentices out there and continue to give it your all no matter what ! Have a safe weekend everyone
