Re: wiring question
CQ, thank you, thank you for re-enforcing my reply ..I dont know what your profession is but you definitely know how to interpret the NEC. Being a local inspector does not necessarily make them experts on the NEC, although they do have final say in their jurisdiction. This job is underpaid and the selection is often political and seldom does it require an engineering degree. In my opinion, this is something the NEC should address. It is a sad situation when a BSEE has to battle with a person who thinks they know everything just because they are the local authority. In the industrial machine and controls field there are uniform standards, conventions, and adherence to the NEC, Ul, NEMA and the IEC. In residential construction there is no standard, a lot of building inspector have only their opinion and not the education. Hopefully in the future the insurance and mortgage companies will address this.
