Sorry bout that. I thought I made it clear that the only thing the inspector said was that is was not listed for that use, meaning that the box was not officially a contactor enclosure. I was jogging my memory since this was in late 90's when he called me on it. It was actually a 120V. relay that he was concerned about. I found a contactor and an approved box for this job I'm working on. It is interesting to see what issues come up here. Seems like most customers are looking for the
lowest price on jobs these days so doing things the absolute most bestest top quality time consuming way isn't
always a customer's priority. However, it does need to be a safe installation. That leaves lots of room for argument though. I guess if screwing a contactor in a box with tech screws is "pig work" then I plead guilty. :0
