I do not quote code but there looks to be some issues with this panel as the main breaker is severely rusted and there also looks like a double tape.

There are some issues with this type of panel.

I would call out a sparky to review and suggest updating ad the panel is antiquated in my opinion.

Such as, no protection from buss bar, Mian area is exposed and is not isolated from breaker area. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
