Equipment ground to sub panel?

[Jim Katen]

A timely find from this week. I'm pretty sure that this wire would have fit into one lug without too much trouble.

Maybe the installer was a frustrated hairdresser.

It's definitely not allowed, and personally I don't care why. Code is code.

Thing is, that will fit in one hole! I am amazed at how many times I see this when it is completely unnecessary.

That looks to me like #2SER, which makes the EGC #4. Pretty much every modern ground and neutral bar WILL accept up to #4.

#4 aluminum stranded?

2-2-2-4 SER? Yeah, standard issue in my area.
