The distribution box has no grounding copper busbar
The good news is that, since you're in conduit, it's an easy fix. Figure out where this one goes and use the blue wire to pull a white wire (of the same AWG) as its replacement (after shutting off the breaker the yellow wire is connected to). All the wiring is in THHN wires inside metal. A brass, aluminium, or copper busbar is a metallic strip or bar. See how simple installation can be in distribution switchgear, marine transportation, machinery manufacturing, busduct and power generation. Busbars are used within electrical installations for distributing power from a supply point to a number of output circuits.
