Where is the main breaker???

Wires under main lugs feeding god knows what…I assume a sub panel..way undersized wire to feed a sub. Looks like 10/2 wire…which means the sub is not grounded properly and certainly not wired properly…subs need to be on their own breaker..that wire(30 amp rated) is carrying 240 volts/100 amps and passing through the side of the panel with no protection!!! WTF

Multiple Neutrals on buss bar under same lug.

Red/usually secondary hot wire tied into neutral wires with wire nut leading to??

No wire clamp/sheath connector used in top of panel with too many wires sharing the hole.

Jumper wire on left side between 220 and 110 breaker

No second wire on second from bottom right side 220 breaker..assume it’s running a 110 outlet.

I don’t see a ground entering the panel..large, bare copper wire…which means the panel is not grounded nor the rest of the house.

I swear, I’d be afraid to touch that panel for fear of being electrocuted. Hell, I wouldn’t change an outlet it that house for fear of being electruted.
