Another bonding question

[Prickly]

I had some issues with improper bonding work done by my electrician. They tell me that they have rectified all issues and passed the electrical inspection (the inspector didn't come out but they sent pictures to him). I just noticed that my bonding wire is connected to my pump with a zip tie and I'm wondering if this looks acceptable, or if my electrician messed up again. Thank you for any advice!

The actual one should be on a lug somewhere towards the back on the underside or under the plastic housing. That looks like it’s just holding the wire out of the way.

I think code also states that the bonding wire has to be solid not stranded.

Ya two things pointed out and concur.
It's not setup correctly.

Anybody know if the Canada codes match the US ? OP is north of the border.

In canada stranded is acceptable as per my install last yr

There's no other connection and I dont see a lug on the pump. Do you know if Hayward pumps come with a bonding lug or should the electrician have provided one?

What about under the plastic rear cover. Should just be one screw holding it on. ? @JamesW is a master at these things

Ya there definitely should be a bond lug somewhere.

 

[JamesW]

It should be below the back motor cover.

It should be below the back motor cover.

Thank you - I found my empty bonding lug The electrician messed up again. I can't believe how many mistakes they have made
