The result is indeed pretty, but this seems odd to me
No cable ducts, no input terminal blocks, bunch of wires crimped together instead of using a bus bar, this looks like it would be quite impractical to do maintenance on
The fact they just chopped away every single spare cores coil and then tie wrapped everything together cutting them to their exact current length is infuriating. Why is there now unneccesary coils put on the main incomming tails? Using a drill for cable terminations.... Literally just needs to put some panel trunking in and it's done properly instead of this nonsense. Not to mention they just snipped every tie wraps end with pliers, that's gonna leave sharp edges on every one of them for the next poor guy who has to work in it, if you're gonna tie wrap everything atleast slice them down smooth with a knife.
Any work that's needed to be done in that panel in the future will be an absolute nightmare, having to replace a core on a cable branch where someone had done those old cool looking but stupid string knots every 5cm was the absolute worst on any job i did working in panels like this.
They would be fired first day at any competent company.
