This electrical panel was found at a home inspection in Virginia Beach. We have a condition which is commonly referred to as a "double tap" which means that a breaker that is listed for one conductor has two conductors terminating under the screw. Here we have two wires one copper and one aluminum terminating under the screw. So we have a couple of issues at the same time because aluminum branch circuit wiring comes with its own list of issues that need to be addressed. Just another example of some "homeowner upgrades" to the electrical panel.
Just an example of the things your Virginia Beach home inspector is looking for during your home inspection in Hampton Roads.
