4. No proper grounding observed
5. Evidence of amateur work and bypass of safety devices

Recommendations:

• Immediate power disconnection to prevent fire hazard and shock risk
• Full panel replacement required
• Rewiring of all circuits with proper gauge conductors
• Installation of appropriate grounding system
• Thorough inspection of all branch circuits for related issues

Fire Hazard with Dangerous Elevated Temperature

Conducted thermal imaging inspection for safety inspection

Key findings:

1. Maximum temperature detected: over 25 degrees higher than recommended - this is a low level fire hazard
2. Thermal image shows concentrated heat source, likely an electrical connection or component - electrical safety concern
3. Temperature differential suggests potential issue requiring further investigation

Observations:

• Heat pattern indicates possible loose connection or overloaded circuit
• While not critical, the temperature is higher than ambient and warrants attention

Next Steps:

1. Identify exact location of heat source in electrical system
2. Perform detailed visual inspection of the area
3. Check for loose connections, signs of corrosion, or undersized wiring
4. Monitor the area over time to track any temperature increases

Note: Thermal imaging provides valuable insights but requires correlation with visual inspection and electrical measurements for comprehensive diagnosis.
