American term with what looks like a UK consumer unit.

Looks like a Yankee site too.

Tis an american site but there is some fairly sound info.

This stuff would certainly help a few of my customers :innocent

Gotta love a woody with plasma burns

Interesting they HAVE to clip cables to a stud wall (we just have "adequately supported") 

 

[Blue Duck]

What if the cables are at ceiling height?

:innocent

The NEC is MUCH more prescriptive than BS7671 & other EU standards as I understand it.

There is a presumption of conformity if the install is done to the NEC, to such an extent that it is possible that no testing is required?

And they do not use clips they use staples

Screwits in back boxes as each terminal can only have 1 wire connected

No sleeving on earths

Weird colours

Neutral bonded to earth at first board

Meters are like round sangamo time clocks...pull the meter isolates the supply

Etc etc
