To an extent Harold. at $30+- for a 20A and much more for a 2 pole- and limited MFG- seems to be worth the (polite) discussion.

I would send it for interpretation.
job moving,collecting sooner,understood. But not at a loss of a (most likely insanely tight quote to begin with) profit.
Some times you must stand your ground.

Respectfully.

Leland,

I agree with you and I would have a polite talk with the AHJ about his interpretation of the NEC. If the AHJ doesn't budge, the EC has the opportunity to go to the Construction Board of Appeal (CBOA). However if he does to the CBOA, it will still cost the EC around $100 for an application fee. So the EC is between a rock and a hard place.

Guys:

The AFCI calls and questions from the EC's by phone are rolling in. Yes, different interpertations abound and it seems like there are 'different' code books floating around.

I printed 210.12 from the '08 Handbook, with commentary and the Sq D pic, and I hand it to any EC, foreman, etc., that has any interest. That's what I enforce. No HVAC feeders, No sub-panel feeders, No baseboard heaters, No pool feeder/branch, etc. Not required for service upgrade, or panel change. "Qualified Rehab" jobs don't require them either.
