Joe:

Could you please clarify a question regarding the application of the Code to me? I recently posed the following query to two Electrical Inspectors and two 15 hr. Code Review providers, and received mixed answers. When installing new receptacles (3) in the dining room of an old dwelling shall the installation be done in accordance with 220-4(b) and 210-52(b)? One Inspector and one Code Review instructor said YES and the others said NO, stating that these sections only apply to new construction and not to wiring in older dwellings. I was taught that the Code applied to ALL installations. I have been licensed in MA. for almost 40 years now, have I missed a Code change or am I experiencing a "Senior Moment"? Kindly advise me on this matter.

Thank you.

Bob L.
